Caribbean Currents by Peter Manuel
A fascinating wide-ranging survey of Carribean music forms
"[T]he many helpful discographies throughout the book--not to mention the cool photographs!--contribute to making this an essential text on some of the world's most irrepressible rhythms" --Booklist "Professor Manuel is a superb ethnomusicologist with several important books to his credit. He is well versed in the intricacies of hybrid music forms on the Caribbean... This is an excellent summary volume on Caribbean music." --Raul Fernandez, Professor of Social Sciences, University of California at Irvine "This excellent book encompasses Caribbean music in all its diversity and complexity. Manuel shows a great deal of contemporary sensibility and sensitivity in covering this fertile region of world music--he is able to relate the many musical traditions present in the region to those that are present in world music today." --Juan Flores, Director, Centro de Estudio Puertoriquenos, City University of New York
