Mix up some fruity rum drinks, Ma, we’re going to the Caribbean. A typically solid Putumayo collection of artists and sounds from all over the islands. No great surprises, but a nice sampling of music. Informative notes on both the performers and music. A portion of the proceeds benefit a charity in Haiti. *1. Cool midtempo shimmy w/nice vocals & cool banjo accents. Fun. 2. Relaxed mento track (precursor to reggae). Light & catchy. 3. Female vocalist, uptempo dance wiggle w/a nice mix of influences. *4. Fun midtempo Cuban-influenced track w/good vocals/horns/perc. 5. Midtempo love song w/synth/programming. Kinda cheesy. 6. Bouncy soca track w/a big sound of chorus/horns/perc. 7. Horn-driven uptempo pop w/strong vocals & a nice energy. *8. Relaxed and sweet zouk. Flute/perc/vocals. Happy. 9. A horn-driven instrumental ska anthem. 10. Afro-Caribbean soca jam w/fun energy. *11. Big dance groove w/cool male vox, horns, perc. Party! 12. Midtempo soca w/sort of a subdued energy. | ||
