Call the fire department! shouts fiery accordionist/singer/composer La India Canela (Lidia Mara Hernndez Lpez) when her driving "country" quintet of accordion, <i>tambora</i> (drum), <i>gira</i> (metal rasp), alto saxophone, and electric bass hits its stride. Rooted in the mountainous Cibao region of the Dominican Republic, the merengue tipicos driving dance beat, aggressive improvisations, and down-home lyrics make it an irresistible Caribbean original. 32-page booklet, 55 minutes.
