""'Mek Some Noise'" combines rich ethnographic details with a conceptually innovative perspective on the embattled field that music represents for Full Gospel Christians in Trinidad. Compelling, incisive, and original, this book makes a superb contribution to an understanding of music, identity, and spirituality in and beyond the Caribbean."--Jocelyne Guilbault, author of "Zouk: World Music in the West Indies" "Timothy Rommen's persuasive argument about the ethics of style in Trinidadian Full Gospel worship possesses not only regional but global implications for the study of music in community.
