Perez collected a musicologist's wish-list of the island's most unique and beautiful sounds: chants, songs, hymns, dance numbers, folk tunes, etc. This amazing collection from Bear Family Records gathers 267 of these recordings, and includes a 316-page book with thorough notes and introductions.   Technical Info Release Date : 02/02/2007 Original Release Date : 2006 Catalog ID : 6623 Label : Bear Family (Germany) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : DDD UPC : 40001271662346
