Drum Rhythms of the Caribbean

Drum Rhythms of the Caribbean is a special music CD produced by percussionist Anthony Reid of Living Rhythms who was deeply influenced by his studies at the Jamaica School of Music.

 

In 1990 I went to the Caribbean to study at the renowned Jamaica School of Music…Four years later, I returned to undertake research in traditional Caribbean rhythms.  The experience included listening, learning and performing in traditional settings.  The people that I met, the rhythms that I learnt and the history behind those rhythms, have had a profound impact on my life as a percussionist and educationalist.

One of the many outcomes of my studies/research in Jamaica was the creation of this CD.
