Caribbean Music Recommendations


We're inching our way back to the warm weather, albeit slowly, while still fighting the doldrums of the winter. I need something to warm up my soul, and to remind me of summer, so what recommendations do you have for some warm, sunny, Caribbean music...you know, the steel drums, and all that?

Thanks!

In addition to Ragaee and Steel Drum music,remember that the best living tenor player,Sonny Rollins is from the USVI and you hear the calypso influences in his music. May I suggest his Don't Stop the Carnival,Hold 'Em Joe,and St.Thomas for Caribbean music.
Some of the best jazz being played now is coming from Cuba. Perhaps when the politics evolve,these musicians and their recordings will receive more attention.
