13223 - Carriacou - Possible incorrect lat-lons for songs 1280-1292, 1467 #258

Closed stellasilbert closed 2 years ago

Location listed for these songs is La Resource, Mt. Royal, Carriacou, Grenada, Lesser Antilles, but lat-lon places them in St. George's on Grenada Island. The Lomax Digital Archive also makes what I believe is an error in placing these songs on Grenada Island, while naming the culture as Carriacou. I found a text online that states that Mt. Royal, Carriacou used to be called La Resource. My guess is that that is the correct location for these songs, and that the placement of them on Grenada Island is incorrect on both the GJB and the Digital Archive. I've reached out to Kiki and am waiting to hear from her on whether she agrees. Will update when I find out.

Otherwise everything with this society looks fine.

Confirmed lat-lons should be at Mt. Royal Carriacou, not on Grenada Island. Corrected in metadata.
