Exhilarating, up-beat call-and-response singing accompanied by tambour bèlè (barrel drum) and ti-bwa (bamboo percussion). Colour booklet with info about Martinique, the musicians and instruments.

"…a fulfilling listening experience with the dynamic improvisations of the singer and shifting pulse of the percussion adding a richness that belies the simple repetitive motifs that set the whole thing in motion." RJ
