	Music in Panama
		That's because Panama -- like Havana and New Orleans -- once stood at the crossroads of the slave trade, the Africans who forcibly were brought here, and elsewhere across the Americas, carrying with them the rhythms and techniques that eventually blossomed into jazz and its many offshoots.
		By trying to retrieve their musical heritage, through performance ensembles such as the Bannaba Project and through the fledgling Panama Jazz Festival itself, Panamanians are not only attempting to reconstruct their cultural legacy.
		The Spanish conquerors of centuries ago left behind their language, architecture and European musical traditions, while the English traders who brought slaves here provided a critical element in the emergence of a distinct Panamanian music: the mystical, ancient sounds of Africa, borne by men and women in chains.

	Music of Panama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Panama is a Central American country, inhabited mostly by mestizos (persons of mixed African, European and indigenous ancestry), with a large population from the African diaspora (especially from Jamaica, Barbados, Martinique and Trinidad) descended of those who came to work on the French and North American canal projects between the 1880s and 1910.
		A distinctive vocal style dominates the music, which is said to derive from Sevillians of African descent who arrived in the early 16th century.
		Popular Panama folkloric music is generally called música típica or pindín, which since the 1940s has included instruments such as the guiro, conga and especially the accordion, among others.

		Panama is a music lover's--and a musicologist's--dream: the tiny country sits among the Caribbean and Central and South America.
		While admixtures of music styles particular to these regions are almost guaranteed to be compelling in any form, this collection presents a twist.
		Atop the instruments is a shifting set of vocals, from the mournful solo Spanish singing to the wailing antiphony of a soloist and chorus, both of whom perform outside Western harmonic scales, often in a shouting style.

		In both cases the music came out right and the feel from the audience (or perceived audience in radio) was fueling the performance.

		This CD is the first of Panamanian music to be released in UK and is the culmination of 40 years enthusiasm by Nigel Gallop, who contributes a fascinating account of an unusual story, which he has pursued with commendable persistence.

		It’s The Tailor of Panama, a film I saw once, years ago, and then forgot until this CD came along and I had to face the reproachful tone of the blurb on the back of the cardboard envelope.
		Some of the musicians were visitors, resident at local clubs and bars, but Panama was their conduit.
		Then there’s a woman duetting with a man on “Viva Panama” by Papi Brandao y Sus Ejecutivos, and she has a terrific soprano flutter, a strange, antique falsetto sound, as if she’d stepped off a record from an earlier decade and agreed to join in.
