CDNotes
- This CD is like spending an evening with some of the most beautiful girls in the world like Beyonce, Scarlet Ohara, Maddonna, Liz Hurley, Naomi Campbell, Miss Jamaica, Mie Hama, Brigitte Bardot. It is very hard to pinpoint each track because every single track is a "smash", with "authenticity" and "Caibical melodies". His great voice makes a package that should not be missed. This is the right "direction" and I am certain this is the one for your "collection". - Laurel Aitken
- One little island in the Caribbean has captured the ears and imagination of the world. Jamaica with its natural rhythmic passion has given birth to many new styles of music through the generations. This selection of "MENTO" featuring "DUKE HARRIS and the CALYPSONIANS" is a beautiful example of this divers and talented art. With the HIGH GRADE quality of musicianship, the band creates an atmosphere of "Love and Freedom" laced with humour which "SWINGS and SWAYS" and makes you play the DOWNBEAT WAY. - Andy D
