[edit] 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)

• 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)
  • 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)
• 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. —Cuiviénen 18:13, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment A larger picture than the one's shown would be nice in the lead. HornetMike 03:07, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
  • 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)

      • 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)
• 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)
