3.0 out of 5 stars Generic Carribean music, February 22, 2003

One of the other reviews said this was pasteurized for Canadian tastes. That pretty much sums it up. It's pretty much cruise ship band music for older Canadians. It might work for a yuppie soccer mom barbeque with tiki torches in New Jersey, but it sure don't have a hint of authenticity. Having said that, you probably know most of the songs, can sing along happily, and hell, it is vaguely reminiscent of my last vacation.

5.0 out of 5 stars the band is the Starlite Singers, February 22, 2009

From what I could research the band is the Starlite Singers and the cd is the same as "All The Best From The Carribbean" by the same band. Very enjoyable and well produced.

I have the tape and this CD are not listing all the songs in the tape. For example, they don't list: Coconut Woman. But most of the other songs are really good and I recommend the song about the pilot of the Coconut Airlines communicating with the ground airport fellow. A classic!
I believe that some of the songs are definitely unknown classics.
Enjoy!
