CD Reviews

An invaluable piece of Caribbean history!!
student2003 | 12/10/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Slavery, creolisation and emancipation all rolled into one!!
If you want to hear the influences of African music and culture in the Caribbean then this is definitely for you. Many of the tracks have brought me laughter, some have brought tears to my eyes - when I listen to them I feel like I'm being taken back in time to when slaves were carried away from their homelands across the atlantic and brought to a strange land where singing is their only comfort. The songs are filled with emotion, especially LAMIZE and KANGO. It is impossible to get fed up of listening to this album. And the quality is superb given that it was recorded in 1962 - thanks to technology!!"
