SMITHSONIAN FOLKWAYS VIDEO ANTHOLOGY OF MUSIC AND DANCE OF THE THE CARIBBEAN
Kali...Martinique Biguine Music
* * * * * * *
"A broad, basic overview of the music and dance of the Caribbean. While there are countries and styles not represented, it is not designed to be an exhaustive archive, and the breadth and variety of the clips offers satisfactory introduction to the region. ......The rural to urban format is most evident in the segments from Trinidad and Tobago......Children's songs and games as well as musical instruction are well illustrated on this tape. Examples include the segments from Dominica featuring two Ring Games and the Seú Celebration of Curaçao which shows a local ethnomusicologist teaching a harvest song to high school students. The Simadan, from Bonaire, gives another example of harvest celebrations......The Manpa Song from St. Lucia illustrates the complex social organizations that developed, historically, in many Caribbean countries. Rival groups within a community often use music as a means of competition.......In the Jamaican Maroon Communal Song, each player holds up his instrument and names it before the song begins. This is indicated as being "for filmic purposes only," and the misleading name one participant gives his instrument is also indicated: "...the saliman, a box drum, although the player in this excerpt calls his a 'trambone.' "
