Hidden Canary Islands

HIDDEN CANARY ISLANDS: La Gomera

Imagine what it must have been like before cell phones or even landlines for that matter to communicate over distances as far as three miles away — village to village. That’s where the ancient language of Silbo Gomero comes in. There are a handful of other whistling languages around the world but none as developed as this! Hidden Canary Islands premieres on public television stations across the country on October 24th. Check your local PBS listings.
