Rhiannon Giddens is a member of the local musical group The Carolina Chocolate Drops. I have seen her perform in person 3 times. The first time was at a Native American PowWow. The second time was at a Celtic Festival where she performed with a group of Celtic musicians and singers. Now, I have seen her with the Carolina Chocolate Drops which is a historical Piedmont musical group, their album is called "Genuine Negro Jig", its unique and part-folk, part-bluegrass, part-blues and very bare bones. Sort of turn-of the century (1900's) not (2000's) backyard music with 2 other young 'African Americans'. I wondered if anyone else knew of her and if she is tri-racial like me. From the looks of her, she seems as if she could very well be an African/Caucasian/Native American blend.

Her father is white and so is her husband.
When she went to Africa the kids there referred to her as white even though she was with other white people there.
