This is Luke’s take on a St. Croix ,Virgin Islands Quelbe Song.
By the early 1900s slavery had long since ended on St. Croix and jobs were scarce. The economy had drastically declined and living conditions were poor. The very popular song “LaBega’s Carousel” bears witness to the resulting labor unrest. The song proposes the boycott of a popular carousel owned by a man named LaBega, who said that laborers were not worthy of a pay raise.
