377 p, This work is an ethnomusicological study of St. Lucian musical events, and their cultural implications. Includes a detailed description of four of the most common types of St. Lucian musical events: seances of La Rose and La Marguerite organizations; debot evenings (evenings which consist primarily of dancing the debot dances), full moon gatherings, and beach parties; kwadril evenings (evenings in which almost exclusively kwadril sets are performed); and wake celebrations.
