Music for Your Week: Caribbean Playlist (3hr)

Music from Haiti, Jamaica, Martinique and Trinidad (*and London)

Listen to last week’s Walter Martin Radio Hour: Break out the Caribbean Records

---

Hi - last week’s Caribbean episode felt great. If you couldn’t tell, I love this goddamn music so much.

Peter Tosh, Rita Marley, Bob Marley

I had to get creative when I made this playlist because the early Bob Marley collections (and some of the Trinidadian calypso comps) on Spotify and Apple are all screwed up and some stuff is mislabeled. But I found some great additional tracks in the process.

Sister Nancy

And I found a bunch more ‘60s Jamaican covers of American and British pop—such cool stuff. So much love for the Beatles!

So, this playlist is very fun and all over the place: some traditional folk songs from Haiti and Martinique, some Trinidadian calypso, some Jamaican ska, rocksteady, dub, and early dancehall… and lots more.

Lionel Belasco

But yeah this is the first of probably a few Caribbean playlists I’ll do this season, so keep your eyes peeled.

Thanks for listening and for being a paid subscriber!
