Caribbean Summer - Luigi di Ghisallo

Most people who live in the Caribbean are of an outspokenly straightforward nature, and always in good mood. "Caribbean Summer", a three-movement piece, captures this very mood: Very early in the morning, a summer day begins with "Guadeloupe", a Caribbean waltz. In this the change from a triple meter to a duple meter counter rhythm is of prime importance. From it, the music draws a particular lilt.At noon there is a happy and lively hustle and bustle on the beach. Vendors ("The Coconut Vendor") sing and offer their sugar-peanuts ("Chou-Cou"). A guest spontaneously begins to drum his fingers on a table, a second one reaches for a calabash or a cowbell - a cha-cha-cha is born. Finally, in "Caribbean Nights" a joyful parade of happy people march down the streets. Based on this very feeling, a special dance developed chiefly in the Dominican Republic: a simple basic two-step pattern in even rhythm becomes a "Merengue" together with the right, so to speak contra rotating motion of the hips! This cheerful dance then marks the close of day in a happy way - and in the morning everything will begin over again...

Caribbean Sunrise - Johan Nijs

The brilliant sun, the blue sea, and the white beaches. The Caribbean Islands hold a great attraction for holidaymakers. Water sports enthusiasts can swim, sail, and dive to their hearts' content and the wonderful coral reefs are a must. In this composition, Johan Nijs depicts the atmosphere of the Caribbean. The first part describes dawn and the long awakening of the group of islands after a sultry night. A few hours later things are full of vitality again with the calypso in full swing.
