4.0 out of 5 stars
Raw and Pure,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Garifuna Music (Audio CD)
After listening to the new CD, Umalali: The Garifuna Women's Project, I purchased this CD of field recordings from the Garifuna people of Belize. While Umalali presents a more professional sound, polished by studio processing and embellished at times with guitar and horns, this CD gives us unprocessed samples of any day, anywhere music. Here, percussion dominates the vocals with drums, maracas shakers, clave, and conch shell. The enclosed booklet provides some historical background of the culture, its mixed Carib-Arawak Amer-Indian language supplemented with English, French, and African, and the various musical forms and rhythms. Most tracks seem strongly African influenced, but several others are in Caribbean Latin style (parranda and bolero). Thus, the two CDs complement each other nicely. These raw field recordings emphasize the pure spirit of the Garifuna people and provide presence.
