"We have named this band 'The Jolly Ambulances' because we are jolly old women. We drink rum and sing and liven up funeral wakes. It is the art of mourning the dead to please our ancestors." -Graciela Salgado, leader
Product Description
An amazing recording of the Jolly Ambulances, the legendary Palenque mourners who sing at funeral wakes to honor the memory of their ancestors. Recorded in a small beaten-earth house, this disc is like nothing you've ever heard before - touching, powerful collection of laments sung by a group of elder women.
