Bedouin Soundclash are a 3 piece band from Canada who have recently finished a tour of the UK to promote their new album. Their last album, Sounding a Mosaic, brimmed with reggae-pop tunes to fill you with summer beats and their new album - Street Gospels is out this summer.

We've uploaded an interesting lesson which will take students on a journey to Guyana in South America. The resources follow the documentary music video for the Bedouin Soundclash song, Gyasi Went Home, which is based around, Eon, the bass player's journey back to his homeland of Guyana.

The students will learn about this fascinating country and see how the lyrics to the song tell the story of how the country was exploited by colonisers, like Sir Walter Raleigh.
