Perez collected a musicologist's wish-list of the island's most unique and beautiful sounds: chants, songs, hymns, dance numbers, folk tunes, etc. This amazing collection from Bear Family Records gathers 267 of these recordings, and includes a 316-page book with thorough notes and introductions.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52384974340383,"sku":"4000127166234","price":222.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/4401ffc85e2773c7629eb548a0b04d6c_0b41b6ac-995e-432a-bf07-bb1fdd9d4b40.jpg?v=1777918850","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/west-indian-rhythm-trinidad-calypsos","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
