Customer Reviews:

This is a fabulous example of ethnonography, w/ a variety of recordings.......2005-07-29

I recommend purchasing this recording -- there's not much like it. A graduate student, whose paper is included as a small type insert to this CD, recorded live Puerto Rican music in a variety of settings, from someone's back yard near the leeward O'ahu coastline, to a January church service in St. Theresa's in Kalihi that some of my family members attended in celebration of El Dia De La Tres Reyes.

unfortunate amateurs.......2005-03-22

This recording is very amateurish at best. Bad music and poor singing at what seems to be a live event with poor audio qualities. I heard the original Kachi-Kachi album of 30years ago and at least they were playing PuertoRican hillbillie music. The accordeons are generally rarely used in Puerto Rican music plus the rhytms The rhythms are totally off, and only some songs recall a Puerto Rican tune. I give them B for the effort of keeping the love and traditions of Puerto Rican music. They are trying hard and having fun, but it sounds like a family get together sing-along. Hawaii has wonderful mucisians. Some pros should attempt to replicate the great sounds of Bomba y Plena and Aguinaldos of the P.R. island. The great Japanese salsa and bomba band "La Luz" is a great example. They don't speak Spanish but wow can they duplicate the Puerto Rican sound perfectly. I love my Hawaii-Rican people but the people deserve a better effort so they know what the real music sounds like. Aloha!
