So it was only yesterday when I learned that some of the spiritual and work songs sung by Black slaves here in the US were used to communicate messages and directions on how to escape.
"Harriet Tubman; a significant American Abolitionist who saved many enslaved Africans from slavery through the Underground Railroad used songs such as “Go Down Moses," to indicate safety and “Wade in the Water” to signal escapees to get in the water to hide their scent."
