Detailed Description

Some of the richest and most diverse of all Afro-Caribbean cultures can be found in the Limon province of Costa Rica. The region's relative isolation, coupled with a large infusion of African labor since in the seventeenth century, have created a cultural hot-bed that finds it's voice in the calypso, perhaps the most unique blend of musical expression, social communication and commentary ever invented. These songs were recorded in Puerto Limon during their carnival festivals and offer a rare and unvarnished look at the essence of this remarkable music. Comes complete with extensive booklet of notes and photographs.
