Album Description

Turn on the radio and there's a good chance that you'll find sounds of the Caribbean permeating the airwaves. From reggaeton and dancehall to soca and salsa, its influence is everywhere. Caribbean music is steeped in African aditions, incorporates European and Latin American sounds, and satisfies virtually any listening palate. With the pop charts currently reflecting love for these genres' growing appeal, Putumayo World Music's new collection, The Caribbean, delves into the roots of the music, its present and its future.

Some of the key artists and tracks on the CD are, The Skatalites, who helped pioneer and popularize ska around the world, contribution to the album, "Freedom Song" shows influences of American jazz, swing, and rhythm and blues. Stanley Beckford, an underground legend, grew up singing in his church choir and winning talent competitions. Now in his 60s, he has experienced a career revival after recording two critically acclaimed albums for French major labels. Breakout star Mika mixes the compass music of his native Haiti with influences of calypso, R&B, reggae and pop to create a gentle breezy groove.

Militant is quickly joining Sean Paul and other Caribbean stars with crossover appeal. This new artist struts his stuff on the track "Hot & Groovy." Using a sample from Putumayo recording artist Habib Koite's song "Saramaya", Militant creates a quintessential soca party song that erupted as an enormous hit in the Caribbean. The Caribbean party flavor of newcomers Jab Jab will also have audiences dancing. Based in Montreal, the band is a unique discovery by Putumayo's Jacob Edgar when he received a three-track demo. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this album will be donated to Wyclef Jean's Yéle Haiti charity in support of their development efforts in the Haiti.

4 out of 5 stars Ptumayo does it again!.......2006-02-02

Another nice collection by my world traveling companions at Putumayo! This offering travels all over the beautiful region showcasing the diverse talents and culture and rich history of this area. My only complaint is the brevity! Come on, Guys! Add another 3-4 tracks. We know there is lots of music out there. Liner notes are good, lyrics (and translations) would be better, but I don't want to nitpick. This is nice party music for this time of year and will be getting lots of play during our summer parties along with Putumayo's "South Pacific Islands" and "Islands" Keep up the good work! this c.d.and a cocktail;(may I suggest...) coconut rum and cranberry-tangerine juice. Enjoy! Summer's Comin' !!

2 out of 5 stars Not very good........2007-07-03

Doesn't sound like real steel drums. I think that they used a synthesizer on an organ with steel drum sounds on it. If you want a good steel drum album get "Calypso Favourites" by The Caribbean Allstars or "Steel Band Music of the Caribbean" by The Steel Drums of Trinidad.

2 out of 5 stars Not the best selection..........2005-05-18

Not the best select if you are looking for true caribbean steel drum music. Sounds like an organ making steel drum music. CD Steel Drum Favorites is better, real drums, costs less, only down side it has 9 songs on it,.

3 out of 5 stars Last Days of the Spanish Waltz.......2000-12-10

These are actually a large range of colonial musical hybrid forms from Trinidad with the hypnotic, African stick fight rhythms surgically removed as to not spook the society dames and bow tied gents who went to the dances in old time Port of Spain. Listening to these tunes gives you that very pre-war, stride piano, jazz age, lets put a good show on for the yankees feeling. Yet, even with that wiff of cultural repression, this is an indispensible recording for anyone who can't bear to leave the missing links in Caribbean music un-collected. It is positively riveting, in a rubber necking sort of way, to hear accomplished Calypsonians doing everything from Spanish Waltzes, called paseos or pasillos locally, to Jack Teagarden and Bix Beiderbeck type ditties. Buy it just to gawk at the cross-cultural spectacle.

    5 out of 5 stars Sophomore Album Jinx?? NO WAY!.......2000-10-14

    This is the one CD I was waiting for at the store when they put it on the shelf. Jay starts out like gangbusters with the hit "Ven A Mi". The music store only had the cassette version and I literally wore out two cassettes before the CD came in. "Corazon", "Amar Asi" and "Si Te Portas Mal" are the best tracks on the cd. PERIOD. The accordion on "Si Te Portas Mal" is some of the best squeezebox I have heard in a long time. Jay proves with this sophomore effort that he is here to stay and that he is truly......"The Voice".

    4 out of 5 stars This a great album!.......1999-08-29
