The Seventh Case of the Pirates' Radio of the Caribbean
Music lovers: today we are back to my pan-American grab bag genre "Pirates' Radio of the Caribbean." This is a chance to play a mash-up of sounds from Cuba, Colombia, Haiti, Brazil, and other tropical ports in the Americas. This is music that easily blends from one style to the next, for it all shares that basic building block of Caribbean music: from work songs and ballads to festival music, it all starts with the drum.
Today's set also starts with the drum, as we hear some stripped-down percussion tracks from around the region. Next up: add chorus and horn lines for some pan-tropical sounds of "carnaval." We'll linger for a bit with some rootsy cumbias from Colombia before we move into more modern Latin sounds with full orchestra.
It's a rambunctious set today with lots of sharp edges... recommended for dancing and yodeling practice, not for hangover remedy.
Enjoy!
