Attillah Springer spoke with six writers about how Caribbean music shapes their work and consciousness. Guests played a song and read a piece of their work that responds to the music.
I Belong to House of Music takes its name from the lyric book of the late great Winston Bailey, Shadow.

- Barbara Jenkins
- Andres Pinas
- Nelly Rosario
- Ivelisse Rodriguez
- Katia Ulysse
