WHO: RANKY TANKY (a Gullah phrase for “get funky”) are five lifelong friends from Charleston, South Carolina who have established themselves as passionate global ambassadors for their local culture and community. They have helped to faithfully preserve the traditions originated by African Americans in the coastal South during slavery that are kept alive through the present day.

QUOTES: "It is a magical experience for Arts Garage to celebrate Florida's rich heritage in the work on our stage. Jacksonville, in addition to many other coastal communities in NC, SC, and GA, is home to some of the Southeast's best examples of Gullah culture. Hosting Ranky Tanky, a two time Grammy Award Winning band steeped in Gullah culture and fused with Jazz and Soul influences will be, as NPR's All Things Considered said, ‘soulful honey’ to your ears!" – Marjorie Waldo, President & CEO, Arts Garage

"The Gullah Geechee culture is prevalent here in South Florida. One of the many cultural influences these West African descendants have on our community is music. The jubilant, worshipful style of Ranky Tanky will make you laugh and dance and promises to provide an uplifting evening." – Charlene Farrington, Executive Director, Spady Cultural Heritage Museum, Inc.
