Jamaican folk music blends African, European and East Indian (in dialect: Bongo, Backra and Coolie) roots into something distinctly Jamaican. Kumina, a magico-religious cult of predominantly rural peasantry, includes invocation of and possession by gods and ancestral spirits aided by songs and drumbeats. Convince, another magico-religious cult that likely originated among the Maroons of the Blue Mountains, differs from kumina on two basic accounts: ghosts called “duppies” rather than gods do the possessing and convince music never uses drums. Yet, kumina and convince share similar lineage from African cultural practices. Also sampled here are examples of “Hindustani” music intended for dancing. These selections use the tabla drum, the “Indian fiddle” (a bowed three-stringed instrument) and a nasal vocal tone. Volume Two (FW04232) continues with Zion Revival, quadrille bands and fife and drum music.

Selk'nam (Ona) Chants of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
Anne Chapman
"Esta grabación recoge 47 cantos interpretados por el último miembro verdadero del grupo Selk’nam, Lola Kiepja. Los Selk’nam no poseían instrumentos musicales, por eso estos cantos no tienen ninguna clase de acompañamiento. Los Selk’nam eran los habitantes originales de la isla más extensa de la Tierra del Fuego, localizada un poco al sur del Estrecho de Magallanes. Cuando estas grabaciones fueron recogidas en 1966, Lola era la única entre diez sobrevivientes de sangre indígena que todavía era una Selk’nam. Ella era la más anciana de todas..."
