Music of the Lesser Antilles

I've been working on this article and its subarticles for a while now, and I think it's ready. It's a very interesting topic - includes calypso, for example, but also spans some more obscure subjects (Dutch Antillean music). Also, though the Lesser Antilles is often treated as a music area, this is more of a convenience than a real musicologically relevant division. Much of what unites the islands is shared with the non-Antillean Caribbean, and much of what separates them associates them with non-Antillean areas. Anyway, it is a common and useful division, and I think this article is about as good as it can be. Tuf-Kat 14:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support very good article. I have a question, did any hip-hop, pop, rock etc. work its way to this islands, or are they isolated music wise? - Tutmosis 16:56, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, there's a bit of hip hop and such, but it's not especially important and is not really relevant to the "Lesser Antilles" as a unit. Tuf-Kat 05:19, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Wow, very well done. It would be nice if a picture could be found to appear alongside the introduction, though I'm unsure what sort of picture would be used. In any case, the article is well-written and well-referenced. —Cuivi é nen 18:13, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment A larger picture than the one's shown would be nice in the lead. HornetMike 03:07, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree that pictures would help a lot here. I've been keeping my eye on free pics at Flickr and such, and will keep looking around for something better. Tuf-Kat 05:19, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  - Citations such as: Manuel, pg. 208, and Cameron, pgs. 549 - 582 are the most referenced citations. These citations are invalid as they do not refer to anything and do not have enough information. Publisher, Date, Author, Title, ISBN (if possible). Otherwise these citations have no validity. Please track down this source so we may view it and check its information and credibility as a reliable source. Mkdw^talk 04:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Those're both in the references section. The notes give the page number, the references gives the rest of the info. Tuf-Kat 07:38, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
~~Comment~~. I note that this article is categorised under "articles with invalid ISBNs". This isn't a big problem by any stretch of the imagination, but it might be worth checking out. MLilburne 10:18, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
