Reminds me of trinidad!.......2007-01-24

I really like this cd!
All I need is some rum punch and my caribbean breeze!
ALL the songs are nice.

Could be better.......2006-10-20

Although this CD has an interesting lineup of songs, I found the versions of the songs bland and uninspiring. The recording is thin sounding and lacks the rich full sound that makes the steel drums a wonderful instrument.

Pan Only!.......2006-08-17

Good compilation of pan only island "toones." Not sure who the "arteest's" are, but the sounds are just right! Hey waiter, get me another Bacardi!

The Best of Steel Pan.......2005-08-16

We were very pleased with this CD. It was exactly what we were looking for.

Takes me back to the islands..........2005-08-12

Turn this CD up and let the rum punches flow and you shall journey to the Caribbean...All, without having to leave your home. This CD is everything that you would expect it to be.

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TO MY EARS.......2007-05-14

THIS IS JUST THE PERFECT CD, TO RELAX TO AND JUST LISTEN TO THE FANTASTIC MELODIES.

What's with the organ?.......2007-03-21

Ocean breezes and steel drum music absolutely make my Caribbean vacations, so I was thrilled to find this album to I could bring a taste of the tropics to my own backyard.

I was so disappointed when I received this album...the sound of the steel drums are completely ruined by the addition of one of those old organs everybody's goofy uncle had in the 60s and 70s. You know the ones...they let you put a samba, bossa nova or fox trot beat over every Billy Joel song you tried to play.

It's a shame, because it is a nice selection of songs, but it turns the beautiful tropical music into a kitschy tiki lounge experience instead.

So elevator music!.......2007-01-10

Bought this CD for a Caribbean themed party I was hosting. The music is great if you want to put everyone to sleep! Its like that background music you hear in the elevator! It wasnt as lively as I was looking for! So if you like it soft and mello... then this is for you! If you want lively...try a different one!

Very relaxing.......2005-10-20

I love this cd. It is great to listen to and reminds me of being in a warmer climate!

TIMES TWO!.......2005-04-24

If I could give this C.D. 10 stars - I would! This is our favorite summer pool party music. Every track is fabulous! We even play this when it's just the family having hamburgers on the deck. It transports you to a breezy caribbean island with swaying palm trees. Okay, so it's just in your head, but man, this is a fun C.D.

Product Description

This CD is a joyous celebration of Caribbean music and culture that will delight children and adults. It includes songs such as All Aboard (Trinidad), Train is Coming (Jamaica), and Little Anancy (Trinidad).

Amazon.com

Caribbean Playground is a sun-dappled disc that jigsaws the region into eight bright musical pieces, each with a surprisingly distinct sound.

Reggae dominates, getting its rub-a-dub-roasted warmth across by way of "Three Little Birds," "Jamaica Farewell," and others, but it doesn't drown out Trinidadian soca, Puerto Rican bomba, or Haiti's lovely, acoustic-heavy twoubadou. Add to that the vocal magnetism of a lot of these artists--Taj Mahal and the Wailers among them--and Putumayo's expected above-the-call packaging, and you get a CD that's cooler than a Kingston street fair, only easier on little kid ears (and lungs). -Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews:

great for kids & adults too.......2007-05-07

fun carribean songs- easy for adults to listen to as well as kids

Putumayo music.......2007-01-06

I bought this for a friend of Barbadan descent. She wants her daughter to know the type of music from her culture.
This is great (not my type of music but then it wasn't for me!! I listened to the local library copy). Hence only the four stars.

All the tunes are well thought out, accurately represent the culture the particular cd focuses on and they're upbeat enough to capture your young one's attention whilst not becoming a source of annoyance to any adult within listening distance.

[...]
Browse their website for the whole range of music.
I own their African Women and African Playground cd's and their Celtic Crossroads cd. All of which are incredibly pleasant to listen to, given that their primary audience is children.

Buy buy buy!! You'll not be disappointed.

A Caribbean playground for all ages.......2005-05-31

This award-winning CD highlights Caribbean styles such as Jamaican reggae and ska, Trinidadian soca, Puerto Rican bomba, Haitian twoubadou, zouk from Martinique and Guadeloupe, and Louisiana zydeco, featuring steel drums, marimbas, accordions, banjos, maracas, cowbells, whistles, and washboards! Liner notes are in English, Spanish and French with cultural information, colorful artwork, and musical style, song and artist descriptions. The CD is appropriate for all ages, and especially for music education in elementary grades. Lyrics in English (five songs are sung in Spanish or French) for most of the verses of ten of the twelve songs are available through the Putumayo.com website.

I enjoyed ALL the songs on this CD. It has old favorites like "Jamaica Farewell" and "Coconut Woman" (kids of all ages will love the "co-co-nut" refrain in this one, as well as the roaring "lion"!), in addition to a zydeco version of Bob Marley's classic "Three Little Birds." Kids will also love "Little Anancy," as many are familiar with Anancy/Ananse spider stories from school. And even though I could not understand much of "Bomba Te Traigo Yo" (sung in Spanish) or "Votez Zouk" (sung in French), the addictive beats of bomba and zouk respectively had me dancing around the room! You too will be glad that this CD "brings you bomba" and makes you want to "vote for zouk!"

Nice Compilation.......2005-02-04

Putumayo releases some enjoyable compliation albums, Caribbean Playground included. However, not all the tracks on this collection are strong. This album is worth adding to your collection---but it not one that you'll continue playing over and over again.

Not Just for Kids!.......2004-11-18

What makes CARIBBEAN PLAYGROUND kid-oriented? Features include its lively, uplifting simple beats, easy lyrics, and focus on songs which demonstrate and sample the diversity of styles within the Caribbean sound.
But don't limit this collection to the playground just because of its title; many an adult - especially those new to the genre - will appreciate the variety, which includes a Louisiana zydeco band influenced by Caribbean culture (Keith Frank and the Soileau Zydeco Band).

Caribean Steel Band.......2007-06-08

Pretty good CD. Reminds me of a band you'd hear at a beach Resort. The 2nd CD is mainly instrumental. Good pool side music.

Music that I grew up with, perfect for summer days.......2006-06-29

I love love love this compilation of Caribbean music! I grew up listening to this in my parents' car, and I know all the lyrics to each song by heart. The music is so fun to listen to, and it's always upbeat. So many memories with this cd...

Cheat?.......2005-06-15

This was expected to be 2 CDs of Steel Drums.
Instead, one of the CDs has no steel drums, just some stuff I was not interested about.

I'm very disappointed, thinking this was their way of getting rid of an unwanted CD, by packaging with something more interesting.

Fun Caribbean Party Music.......2001-07-07

This cover band does a great job with some old Caribbean classics! I enjoy the songs "River of Babylon" and "One Love". The steel band version of Guantanamera is terrific... but my all time favorite is cut #6 "Barbados"!!! It starts with the pilot from Coconut airways and the sound of a plane taking off! It's alot of fun and worth buying for that song alone... this CD is definately worth it!

Paradise.......2001-07-06

What you need to do is have a candlelit bath with this music playing (with a cd player that is at a safe distance from the water!). The second disc of this set is PERFECT for this! It is paradise!!!

Album Description

Turn on the radio and there's a good chance that you'll find sounds of the Caribbean permeating the airwaves. From reggaeton and dancehall to soca and salsa, its influence is everywhere. Caribbean music is steeped in African aditions, incorporates European and Latin American sounds, and satisfies virtually any listening palate. With the pop charts currently reflecting love for these genres' growing appeal, Putumayo World Music's new collection, The Caribbean, delves into the roots of the music, its present and its future.

Some of the key artists and tracks on the CD are, The Skatalites, who helped pioneer and popularize ska around the world, contribution to the album, "Freedom Song" shows influences of American jazz, swing, and rhythm and blues. Stanley Beckford, an underground legend, grew up singing in his church choir and winning talent competitions. Now in his 60s, he has experienced a career revival after recording two critically acclaimed albums for French major labels. Breakout star Mika mixes the compass music of his native Haiti with influences of calypso, R&B, reggae and pop to create a gentle breezy groove.

Militant is quickly joining Sean Paul and other Caribbean stars with crossover appeal. This new artist struts his stuff on the track "Hot & Groovy." Using a sample from Putumayo recording artist Habib Koite's song "Saramaya", Militant creates a quintessential soca party song that erupted as an enormous hit in the Caribbean. The Caribbean party flavor of newcomers Jab Jab will also have audiences dancing. Based in Montreal, the band is a unique discovery by Putumayo's Jacob Edgar when he received a three-track demo. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this album will be donated to Wyclef Jean's Yéle Haiti charity in support of their development efforts in the Haiti.

Ptumayo does it again!.......2006-02-02

Another nice collection by my world traveling companions at Putumayo! This offering travels all over the beautiful region showcasing the diverse talents and culture and rich history of this area. My only complaint is the brevity! Come on, Guys! Add another 3-4 tracks. We know there is lots of music out there. Liner notes are good, lyrics (and translations) would be better, but I don't want to nitpick. This is nice party music for this time of year and will be getting lots of play during our summer parties along with Putumayo's "South Pacific Islands" and "Islands" Keep up the good work! this c.d.and a cocktail;(may I suggest...) coconut rum and cranberry-tangerine juice. Enjoy! Summer's Comin' !!

A Great Album........2007-06-14

Ignore the bad reviews. There is no background noise. The balance between the steel drums and the other instruments is just right. This is an older recording but the sound is clean and the playing is fresh and lively. A really great album at a really reasonable price!

Not quite what we wanted.......2005-08-16

This CD is okay but not quite what we wanted. It has more back ground beat than what we like. For us it is better if it is just the steel pans.

Recycled.......2000-03-29

If you want to experience the pop and crackle of old vinyl, this is the rocording for you. This is clearly a poor job of analog to digital transfer. The music content is not too good either.

A pleasant taste of the Caribbean.......1999-02-26

The collection is very good with a pleasant mix of fast and slow. My only negative comment is that the sound quality is not the best it could've been. But for a great steel drum collection, it's excellent.

Grand Emperors of Calypso.......2003-07-27

There is no other score to give this collection but all 5 stars. If you ever wondered what happened to Eddie Grant after Electric Avenue, he owns the company that has been putting out these CD collections of Kitchener and Sparrow. Some of the songs here are not reflected on any of those other CD's. So scoop this one.
Monster hits like Jean and Dinah featured in the film Mystic Masseur and the elegant Margie are here. But the all time champion Calypso on here must be Sa Sa Yea. While Sparrow is known internationally for his smooth voice and provocative lyrics, Lord Kitchener was always more respected in Trinidad for his cleverly camouflaged double entendres and rich musical compositions...compositions that always took the orchestral needs of the steel pan players into consideration. Pan ochestras love Kitch!
It is only in Sa Sa Yea that Sparrow has an equally rich, orchestral response to Kitch while maintaining his crisp, sweet voice...This song will stick in your head even if you don't understand the Creole protestations of its female protagonist. Other monster hits on here include Drunk and Disorderly and My Pussin. This CD is a gem!

Dos maestros, aunque no frente a frente.......2001-06-30

Las canciones de este disco no tienen desperdicio. Cada una es una obra maestra del calypso, sobre todo de la década del 60, cuando Sparrow y Kitchener lideraban este movimiento en Trinidad y Tobago.

Lo que sí me dejó un poco decepcionado es que se trata de una recopilación. Los temas fueron extraídos de diversos LPs de cada cantante. Ellos nunca se juntaron para realizar este disco y, por lo tanto, no hay canciones a dúo ni tampoco tocan juntos. Eso es una lástima, porque habría sido algo magnífico. Pero las canciones son tan buenas que dejan esta situación sólo como algo anecdótico.

mighty island rhythms.......2001-02-23

Mighty Sparrow once again provides a series of classic rhythms for soca fans in need of a lift. The beats are strong, and as usual the lyrics celebrate the comical side of the human experience. Definitely a worthwhile listen.

This is a sterling album that not only takes me back to my childhood but also examines one the most famous exponents of this artform. THe songs are still as lyrical, poignent and accessible as when they written. Funny clever and entertaining just listen and you fall in love all over again

R-I-K-K-I T-I-K-K-I T-A-V-I.......2005-07-24

Via his late 50s/early 60s singles, Mighty Sparrow staked out a claim as the greatest English-speaking pop artist of the 20th century. Exhibit A is on this disc. Melodies abound and Sparrow can sing them all with grace, style, and humor. The horn charts are of surpassing brilliance, "No Money No Love" being a prime example. The rhythm sections propel forcefully and rhythmically without ever taking the focus away from the song. Lyrically, he is by turns incisive and amusing, and usually both. I mean, can't you use a disc where the singer spells out the title of a children's tale in perfect cadence? (I know I can.) If I could keep only one disc from my collection, it would be this compilation. If I could keep only one song from my collection, it would be this disc's "Governor's Ball", an allegorical tale of a free spirit/lunatic who takes over a stuffy party, sung to a soaring melody and backed by a band equal to the singer.
