4.0 out of 5 stars Polynesia meets Puerto Rico, December 6, 2001
This review is from: Puerto Rico in Polynesia: Jibaro Traditional Music on Hawaiian Plantations (Audio CD)
A fascinating collection, documenting the rich Puerto Rican heritage on the Hawaiian Islands... Who knew (!?) but apparently there was a strong surge of PR immigration to Hawaii early in the 20th Century, and these immigrants -- primarily agricultural workers -- brought their music with them. Fans of Puerto Rican jibaro" music should find this enthralling -- mostly the Latin American heritage remain pretty pure, though there are some interesting stylistic permutations on a few songs. Mainly recorded around 1990, these tracks document an ongoing folkloric tradition... a few tracks have a "field recording" flatness to them, though a lot of the music really swings! Well worth checking out... Sadly, the Original Music label went out of business a few years back, so if you see this album, snap it up.
