From the EP "Songs From Anguilla 2026," Cary Morin This collection of songs was recorded in Anguilla, British West Indies, in February 2026, following four months of preparation. The project was conceived as a collaborative effort between a U.S.-based artist and Anguillan musicians, serving as a model for future partnerships at AMA Recording Studio while helping promote the nonprofit AMA Center on the island.
The result is a diverse collection: two Americana tracks infused with reggae rhythms, a traditional reggae piece, and a dance reinterpretation of a song originally written in the 1990s. For years, I’ve been passionate about blending Caribbean rhythmic sensibilities with blues influences, and this project marks the first time I’ve fully realized that vision in collaboration with Caribbean artists.
This experience was both creatively and culturally enriching. It offered an opportunity to learn a distinct production style and bring that knowledge back to my own work. The songs reflect my perspective on current social and cultural dynamics in the United States within a broader global context. As a Native artist, I often draw parallels between my own heritage—rooted in a not-so-distant nomadic past—and the deeply rooted cultural traditions of others.
Recording in an island environment added a unique dimension to the project, echoing the spirit of many recordings that have long inspired me. I hope this collaboration is the beginning of an ongoing creative exchange rather than a one-time experience.
