The result is an excellent recording by Norman Darwen

Moune De Rivel is one of the most important figures in recorded Antillean music, having first appeared on 78 rpm discs in 1944. She recorded this set in 2000, and there is still a great passion and joie-de-vivre to her voice. She remakes many of the great biguines and folksongs of Guadeloupe - some of which were written by Moune's mother, Fernande De Virel, others by friends and acquaintances - and is accompanied by an extremely sympathetic band. Try to hear her earlier recordings - also available from Frémeaux - as her voice was more flexible then, but for this CD flexibility gives way to experience. The exchange is a fair one and the result is an excellent recording." Norman DARWEN- AMAZON.CO.UK
