Born to a Jamaican mother and a Cuban father who disappeared before Eddie was born, Eddie was brought to the US with his mother by a Louisiana plantation owner. By the age of 4 he was picking cotton and napping in the fields alongside his mother, with a harmonica close by. It quickly became apparent that Eddie was musically gifted and at 12 he ran away hoping to leave the nightmare of cotton behind to pursue his dream of playing music. We followed Eddie, capturing his story and his personal struggle to overcome the many obstacles facing an uneducated Black man in America. Written by Sarah Barnes See less
