I’m headed to the Caribbean next week and am creating a playlist to accompany me on said journey.
I’d love some suggestions from you guys. (Things that I can find on iTunes would be my only request). The brief is pretty loose; dancefloor screamers to heartbreak ballads and don’t necessarily have to come from the islands. Essentially non-English might be closer to what I’m doing. Below is what I have so far but would love some suggestions.
Trinidad/Tobago:
And if the early calypso sounds good to you there is a super old head called Mighty Sparrow.
More Trinidad & Tobago (these guys have a handful of bangers):
Peurto Rico (dunno if this will b on itunes):

& the DJ Guts compilations if you’re not across those already.
This album rocks my world.
Lague Moin and Soleil especially are wonderful.
My world as well.

the Digital Zandoli, and Body Beat compilations are both excellent

Are you going to Jamaica?
Saint Martin & Puerto Rico
Sounds great! I’ve only passed through St Martin on way to Anguilla. That’s worth a visit if you have time, amazing beaches.
