The Ramayana (Hindu Ceremony) (1961) CD

"This item is part of the Cook archives.  The original liner notes from the LP are included."

Calypso is not the only musical genre known to Trinidad: there is a large East Indian presence on the Caribbean island, which ensures that the traditional orchestral sounds of India mingle with the sounds of Afro-Caribbean dance musics. In this recording, B.O. Girwarr sings a selection from the first great Sanskrit epic, the Ramayana. The setting of this religious chanting is accompanied by a five-piece Indian ensemble of local and South Asian instruments.
