Palos drums, which can reach up to 5 ft. In height, are featured prominently in both secular and religious songs and provide percussion for accordion and vocal melodies. Liner notes include a brief overview of the history of the Dominican Republic, track notes with lyrics in English and Spanish, and pictures of the featured musicians.
