CARIBBEAN VOYAGE - TOMBSTONE FEAST
FUNERARY MUSIC OF CARRIACOU
55 minutes - 21 tracks.
Recorded in 1962 by Alan Lomax.
Released by Rounder Records.

Presented here are the magnificent Big Drum songs from Carriacou, Grenada, a font of African and European musical traditions. This is music for the ancestors, or "Old Parents," performed at Tombstone Feasts held years after death and burial, when the body is finally entombed and the spirit of the departed may at last rest in peace.
