In the words of Jamaican musicologist Marjorie Whylie, "Jamaican folk songs are full of social commentary, censure, and recrimination in a vehicle of humor." This publication includes three charming arrangements for a cappella singers and percussion. One describes a comical scene at a train station; a second playfully questions a neighbor about some missing food; and the third (complete with simple instructions to recreate a ringplay game) cheers a naughty cousin who threw his aunt's coat out the window. A printed guide and online video provide vetted learning tools for the Patois language. Unique, authentic, fun!

We loved this song from the minute we heard it. Inspired by a Jamaican folk song, this humorous calypso number tells the story of an inept but pretty 'chiquita.' (She not good at cooking, she can't boil the water at all.') The SoundTrax cassette includes a steel drum accompaniment for an authentic Caribbean sound.
