VA - Caribbean Voyage, Dominica - Creole Crossroads (The 1962 Field Recordings) [1999]

Released for the first time, Alan Lomax’s legendary 1962 recordings of the rich and many-stranded musical traditions of the Lesser Antilles and eastern Caribbean. Work songs, pass-play and story songs, calypso, East Indian chaupai, and steel band music, reflecting the Central and West African, French, English, Celtic, Spanish and East Indian contributions to Caribbean culture.  

These recordings connect back to the oldest and deepest layers of African American music, capturing the once flourishing work song tradition, and look forward to later developments in Eastern Caribbean popular music, in which tiny Dominica has played a pivotal role. Music in this collection has influenced both Soca and zouk, styles that have entered the world music mainstream. (concord.com)
