Free Music Notes for French Caribbean
Free Music Review: Sunshine, Rum, and Mango
Hit: 5 Stars
I picked this Putamayo anthology up at a coffee shop last December, to get in the mood for Dominica and Matinique. The coffee was mediocre - you can guess the brand - but the selection of music, twelve tracks by different groups, was sleek and tangy, Afro-Caribbean rhythms with Gallic suavity. The Creole French CAN be understood...after listening carefully a dozen times...and the usual lyrics of love and sorrow are sauced with pungent satire of a neighboring society to the north. I don't suppose many tourists catch the drift...
Beautiful, hip-swaying, soulful music anyway. The sad thing is that I spent my twelve nights in the Caribbean searching the streets and bars for comparable music, and found... nothing but imported hip-hop on squawky speakers. I did have the pleasure of meeting "DJ Bling", however, in an empty "dance-hall" ten miles into the rain forest above Roseau. DJ Bling assured me that a busload of island girls would surely be arriving any moment. We shared two pitchers of rum-mango punch and I promised to mention him to my musician friends back home. I'm keeping my word.
