Um, I don't know if this thread is where this query belongs, and I know serious music people will want to mock me ;-) but it's got to that time of year where I need to listen to decent Christmas music (and my goodness is there a lot of cr*p out there to wade through). I really like a few West-Indian carols: "Mary's Boy Child", "the Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy" and "See Him Lying On a Bed of Straw" (yeah, I know that last one was written by an english guy, but - there's a reason it's also known as the Calypso Carol, isn't there?). Every time I hear a classical choir butchering one of these songs, I want to slap the stupid music director who ought to have known better. The Boney M. version of Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord is ok, but I'm really looking for a great big Jamaican(/caribbean/west indian) voice backed up by steel drums. Any ideas...?
