4.0 out of 5 stars caribbean music Breaking new ground, August 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Barbadian Popular Music: The Politics of Caribbean Culture (Paperback)

All I really really knew of the music of the english speaking caribbean was Bob Marley and reggae, since I knew very little of the music scene in the small caribbean island of Barbados I read this book with must interest, It is clear that the author was trying to please a number of individuals. It pays attention to academic discussion, it also tries to explain basic realities of Caribbean culture and experience to the uninitiated like myself. I found the exercise of reading this book very enriching. It is books live this one which fill gaps of knowledge in the constructon of Caribbean culture.
