Description

The fabulous music of the Caribbean - calypso, biguine, merengue, or mambo - has greatly influenced American music, captivated by the voluptuous rhythms of their Caribbean neighbors. In search of exoticism, the greatest performers have adopted and blended their melodies and styles; they have incorporated them into an extraordinary fusion with jazz, blues, and rock, brought together here by Fabrice Uriac and Bruno Blum, who comments on this irresistible American introduction to a myriad of genres from the Caribbean: an initiation to pan-American popular music.
