Turn on the radio and there's a good chance that you'll find sounds of the Caribbean permeating the airwaves. From reggaeton and dancehall to soca and salsa, its influence is everywhere. Caribbean music is steeped in African aditions, incorporates European and Latin American sounds, and satisfies virtually any listening palate. With the pop charts currently reflecting love for these genres' growing appeal, Putumayo World Music's new collection, The Caribbean, delves into the roots of the music, its present and its future. Some of the key artists and tracks on the CD are, The Skatalites, who helped pioneer and popularize ska around the world, contribution to the album, "Freedom Song" shows influences of American jazz, swing, and rhythm and blues. Stanley Beckford, an underground legend, grew up singing in his church choir and winning talent competitions. Now in his 60s, he has experienced a career revival after recording two critically acclaimed albums for French major labels. Breakout star Mika mixes the compass music of his native Haiti with influences of calypso, R&B, reggae and pop to create a gentle breezy groove. Militant is quickly joining Sean Paul and other Caribbean stars with crossover appeal. This new artist struts his stuff on the track "Hot & Groovy." Using a sample from Putumayo recording artist Habib Koite's song "Saramaya", Militant creates a quintessential soca party song that erupted as an enormous hit in the Caribbean. The Caribbean party flavor of newcomers Jab Jab will also have audiences dancing. Based in Montreal, the band is a unique discovery by Putumayo's Jacob Edgar when he received a three-track demo. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this album will be donated to Wyclef Jean's Yéle Haiti charity in support of their development efforts in the Haiti.

CD is great. Distributor: How slow can you go?
It has a nice peppery Latin beat. I love Ska Cubano's remake of Chango. They're on youtube and I love them. I have shared their music with others and Ska Cubano gets rave reviews. I love Amazon more each day. The CD is great, but the distributor left a lot to be desired. I ordered 3 Cds from different companies the same day. Two of them were at my door within a week - less than two weeks. I ordered another CD from someone else later... it came in the mail quick. Doolicity, the distributor took a few days over a month - over 4 weeks. The slowest service that I have had. Their response is not an example of good customer service either.

Excellent!
My family and I visited the Carribean and forgot to purchase a CD of the great music we heard. This CD captures the wonderful sounds we heard and brings back memories of our trip.

Ptumayo does it again!
Another nice collection by my world traveling companions at Putumayo! This offering travels all over the beautiful region showcasing the diverse talents and culture and rich history of this area. My only complaint is the brevity! Come on, Guys! Add another 3-4 tracks. We know there is lots of music out there. Liner notes are good, lyrics (and translations) would be better, but I don't want to nitpick. This is nice party music for this time of year and will be getting lots of play during our summer parties along with Putumayo's "South Pacific Islands" and "Islands" Keep up the good work! this c.d.and a cocktail;(may I suggest...) coconut rum and cranberry-tangerine juice. Enjoy! Summer's Comin' !!

amazingly relaxing
While all Putumayo CDs are fantastic, this particular Caribbean one is amazing. The smooth blend of culture, rythym and language combine to create a fantastic CD. The music is both energising and relaxing, and i find it very good to study to :) The non-english lyrics allow the CD to wash over you without making you think, it just allows the music to envelope you in calmness :) i strongly recommend this CD :)
