• Venezuela’s Caribbean coastal town of Naiguata is home to one of the countries most celebrated carnival musical traditions. The 1970s trumpeter Ricardo Diaz augmented the local Afro-Caribbean drumming with brass, electric bass, keyboard and women's chorus to create La Sardina de Naiguata, the musical group that drives the town's annual cycle of public celebrations, including carnival, Corpus Christi and St John the Baptist.

• This CD brings us the contemporary joyous sounds of the pre-Christian rite of "burying the sardine" to promote an abundant harvest of fish and crops
