In the Dutch newspaper
NRC, music reviewer Leendert van der Valk recently recommended readers in lockdown to listen to music on the website
Musical Passage – A Voyage to 1688 Jamaica. Here is a translation (by Peter Jordens) of the review article.
Of the many musicians present at a festival in Jamaica in 1688, Mr. Baptiste was the best one. In the first piece that he presented there, ‘Angola’, the high and low registers alternate in call-and-response style. More than three centuries later, especially when the piece is played on a fretless banjo and is accompanied by percussion, one can hear that it may have been a hit.
