The music of the Caribbean is a mixture of styles encompassing traditions that reflect the nature of its many islands and ethnic groups which inherited a multitude of rhythms imported by slaves from West Africa. Europeans brought with them Western-style melodies and harmonies, still used today in Trinidadian calypso, a traditional folk genre which gained worldwide popularity thanks to internationally famous artists such as the American singer Harry Belafonte (Calypso, Island in the Sun, Day-O/Banana Boat Song). Fascinated by this music which embodies the very spirit of exoticism, Roland Kernen composed Caribbean Calypso, a composition with softly swaying rhythms whichfollow a gentle and subtle melodic line in a rum and cigar-flavoured atmosphere.

Fasciné par cette musique qui sent bon l’exotisme, Roland Kernen vous invite découvrir Caribbean Calypso (“Calypso des Cara bes”), une oeuvre aux rythmes chaloupés qui distille une délicieuse ligne mélodique sur fond de rhum et de cigare.

Affascinato da questa musica esotica, Roland Kernen vi invita a scoprire Caribbean Calypso, un brano dai ritmi ondeggiati caratterizzato da una deliziosa linea melodica sullo sfondo di rum e sigaro.
