"""[T]his is an in-depth academic work but one which is an entertaining and absorbing read too - Brokken is also a novelist and his writing style does draw the reader in with ease."" - RnR Magazine"

Highly readable; It reads like a collection of extracts from a travelogue, or a diary without the dates, offering private glimpses into the lives and music of numerous Antillean composers and musicians.--Nanette de Jong, Newcastle University New West Indian Guide, Vol. 91
