okarina), rattle (maraka), sea shell horns (guamo), gourd rasps
(guahei), chants, and the natural sounds of Mother Earth
(Atabeira / Kaguana) to lead listeners on a musical journey to
the indigenous Caribbean... This is the traditional style music
of the Taino People, the very first "Native Americans" to meet
Columbus in 1492. Buy CD - $12.97 Writer José Barreiro shares
