Barbados

Triangle light flashes over kittle drum motion, poised between coral stone and Atlantic wind.

Pennywhistle melodies rise clear and bright over the dry, compact taps of kittle drum, with bass drum keeping an understated engine below. Triangle flashes add fine metallic light, then recede to leave muted guitar and warm low tones in the foreground. Restrained rukatuk motion alternates with a slow marching step and airy six-beat passages, giving each rhythm room to breathe. Bridgetown coral stone, domino taps on a rum-shop veranda, Oistins after the crowds and Bathsheba's Atlantic wind bring sharply drawn places to the album's poised, quietly buoyant character.
