from

There are also folk songs used in spiritual musical traditions, in addition to secular use ; indeed, there is little distinction between secular and spiritual aspects of traditional Montserratian culture.
Folk songs are generally in the Montserrat Creole language and concern topics ranging from obeah ( magic ) to agriculture, infidelity and historic occurrences.
Many songs are widespread and well-known, and occur in numerous variations, including " Nincom Riley " and " All de Relief ", two of the most famous Montserratian folk songs.
The Irish Montserratian tradition has largely died out, with the last performer, George Allen, a fiddler, dying in 1966.
