Smithsonian Folkways Caribbean Rhythms

Smithsonian Folkways Recordings is the nonprofit record label of the Smithsonian Institution, the national museum of the United States. They are dedicated to supporting cultural diversity and increased understanding among peoples through the documentation, preservation, and dissemination of sound. Folkways Records believes that musical and cultural diversity contributes to the vitality and quality of life throughout the world. Through the dissemination of audio recordings and educational materials, Folkways Records seeks to strengthen people's engagement with their own cultural heritage and to enhance their awareness and appreciation of the cultural heritage of others. Our mission is the legacy of Moses Asch, who founded Folkways Records in 1948 to document "people's music," spoken word instruction, and sounds from around the world. The Smithsonian acquired Folkways from the Asch estate in 1987, and Smithsonian Folkways Recordings has continued the Folkways commitment to cultural diversity, education, increased understanding, and lively engagement with the world of sound.Specifications Artist: Various Artists Format: CD Release Date: September 30, 1991 Label: Smithsonian Folkways Duration: 47 minutesFeatures Includes 14 tracks of traditional Caribbean music from San Andres, Colombia Previously unrecorded music from a small English-speaking island community Influences from English, North American, and Latin American cultures - SKU: SFR1930
