Book Description
At the core of Vodou is possession, the thing that frightens many uninformed Westerners and conjures visions of demonic, evil stuff. This is not what I experienced practising Vodou in Haiti. To be filled with the Spirit, to speak in tongues, to channel, to experience a rapture, vision or epiphany of some kind. These are all possessions, when we are temporarily displaced and Spirit moves in. In Vodou this can be quite dramatic but is in no way demonic. To experience up close and personal a Light Being taking you by the hand and talking to you about how you are and what maybe a good thing for you to do is absolutely mind blowing.

Author:
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 147661931X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
Calypso, with its diverse cultural heritage, was the most significant Caribbean musical form from World War I to Trinidad and Tobago Independence in 1962. Though wildly popular in mid-1950s America, Calypso--along with other music from "the island of the hummingbird"--has been largely neglected or forgotten. This first-ever discography of the first 50 years of Trinidadian music includes all the major artists, as well as many obscure performers. Chronological entries for 78 rpm recordings give bibliographical references, periodicals, websites and the recording locations. Rare field recordings are cataloged for the first time, including East Indian and Muslim community performances and Shango and Voodoo rites. Appendices give 10-inch LP (78 rpm), 12-inch LP (33 1/3 rpm), extended play (ep) and 7-inch single (45) listings. Non-commercial field recordings, radio broadcasts and initially unissued sessions also are listed. The influence of Trinidadian music on film, and the "Calypso craze" are discussed. Audio sources are provided. Indexes list individual artists and groups, recording titles and labels.
