:: Session Notes :: |
1 - This session features a male chorus singing sailing, rowing, and boat-pulling songs. It includes a number of interviews and some recordings were actually made in a rowboat. Some of the recordings can be found on Caribbean Voyage: Nevis and St. Kitts (Rounder 1732). [Source: Recordings and Field Log] |
|
:: Recording Notes :: |
0 - Chorus singing predominantly in unison. In an effort to capture the sound of a boat-pulling song, Alan Lomax encourages the singers to ?really pull this time.? Recording quality is poor and the recording ends in mid-performance. [Source: Recording] |
