Many thanks G. I was wondering where to place my 'discoveries' - a family living in France, having moved from S.Korea and singing a Cuban song in Spanish. There are more versions of this fine Cuban song, and I particularly love this young, shy, funny and brave family group.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post

For my Caribbean Thursday I thought I'd turn to one of Peel's favourite band. Misty in Roots played sessions for JP on numerous occasions and here, from one of those sessions, is 'Judgement Coming on the Land'. Quality!

Love that record, Global. I reckon Ghost Dance is one of my all-time favourite tracks. I only just found out that his middle name was Bustamente, by the way. So that's how he got his name!Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostThanks JC. Huge fan of Prince Buster and this particular album. the cover is still one of my all time favourites...

Well, that's certainly how it became shortened to BusterOriginally posted by johncorrigan View PostI only just found out that his middle name was Bustamente, by the way. So that's how he got his name!
I suspect he was named Bustamente after
and, just in case you don't follow the link, there is a candy named after Alexander Bustamante:
I can confirm that used to be available at the B'ham Caribbean Festivals in the 80's and was flippin delicious ..."represented his firmness of character" - sweetBustamante backbone
A Jamaican candy, the Bustamante backbone, is named for him.[28] It is a grated coconut and dark brown sugar confection flavored with fresh grated ginger, cooked to a hard consistency, "which is said to represent his firmness of character." Bustamante was considered a "buster", "a champion of the common man and tough article."[29] The candy is also nicknamed Busta.
Ghost Dance - classic track.Comment

Not quite the Caribbean, but Tio is from Vanuatu and shows the reggae influences on a lot of the island music. He's from Ambryn, which I believe is one of the more remote of the eighty or so populated islands of the archipelago. I like the voice very much.
