Ranky Tanky are passionate global ambassadors for the Gullah culture and community, faithfully preserving the traditions originated by African Americans in the coastal South during slavery. Ranky Tanky's mission is to share this important and underrepresented American culture with the world.
"Ranky Tanky" comes from a Gullah expression roughly translated as 'get funky.' The band’s objective is to create a contemporary interpretation of the Gullah musical vocabulary to share with the world, playing shows and festivals across the globe, to evolve the culture of which they are direct descendants, whilst remaining true to the working-class roots and attitude of the songs.
