Please note!
Most of our CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. I guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

Turtle Shell Music
Garifuna Punta Music from Belize
 Garifuna Punta Anthology - Lady Lard and Isabel Flores $17.99 (cdRoots# tsm-ladylard)
This is the real deal, real garifuna roots by singer Lady lard, percussionist Isabel Flores and a smal ensemble of voices, drums and percussion. No frills, no fusion, just the pure punta rhythm and roots, in 1970s recordings snatched from oblivion and restored on CD. Listen!
 The Beginnings - The Original Turtle Shell Band $17.99 (cdRoots# tsm-tsb)
Pen Cayetano formed the Original Turtle Shell Band in Dangriga, belize, in 1981. The band brought together traditional Garifuna song and percussion with electric guitars and made what he says was the first punta rock. This raw, percussion driven music, recorded at a radio station in Belize City from 1980 to 1982 is still vibrant a quarter century later. Listen!
