    Notes:
    "In London and in the North American cities where migrants from the Caribbean have instituted Carnival, the majority of people are ignorant about the nature of calypso: it is stereotyped in their minds as music for tourists. Accordingly, I would like to give a brief description of the true nature of calypso and of the steelband as an orchestra, so as to set the records straight and undo some the Eurocentric damage to Caribbean art forms."

    "The social ascendancy of the drum reflects equally the gradual upward mobility of Cuba's black people. It is impossible to day to imagine any kind of modern Cuban music that does not include the restrained, or wild, rolling of the drum, making the rhythm of romantic songs or revealing the exuberance of the son, rumba, and other dance rhythms. I shall attempt here to briefly sketch of the Afro-Cuban drum from colonial times to present...." (author)
