About this product
It's all about cultural roots On this record, the presence of the decima (a ballad-like song form often philosophical in nature) and the pasodoble (a fast Spanish dance that introduces a bull fight and the entrance of the bull fighters) reflects the cultural association of the majority Puerto Ricans to their Spanish colonial past. A plena (humorous, satirical song of the Inchcommon manInch) is distinctly Puerto Rican. A guaracha (an old-fashioned Afro-Cuban street dance) ties Puerto Ricans to their Afro-Caribbean heritage.

Whether purely instrumental or with a chorus, each of these recordings manages to capture the spirit of the English, Spanish, and French speaking Caribbean. Many of the recordings are of dance music as music and dance are commonly linked in Caribbean cultures. Representing fifteen countries this collection speaks to the vibrant nature of the West Indies where even a song like InchNous Allons DodoInch or InchWe're Going to SleepInch is anything short of a lullaby.
