Sam Charters' first recordings of the legendary Bahamian guitarist Joseph Spence, on Andros Island in July 1958, for Folkways Records.
Great, great rewind from Afro-Caribbean London, 1979. The 20th Century Steel Band compounds intricate Afro-Trini rhythms with reggae and dub, funk, disco and soul, not to mention the eco-operatics.
From our heartlands — the late 70s Grove — a stupendous mixture of stomping disco, dub and steel band, in its lineage crossing Ginger Johnson (from London Is The Place For Me) with The Twentieth Century Steel Band.
A Brooklyn-1973 brew of Compas — carnivalesque Haitian party music — and other Carib styles, mixed with funk, soul, psych. Treated guitars, ain't-no-stoppin' percussion.
A fusion of funk, cumbia, latin, afro, hip-hop and more — featuring J-Live, Noelle (The Rebirth) and Malcolm Catto amongst the guests.
Chicha is the late-sixties in-thing scrambling of traditionally-demented cumbia dance music. Uncouth electric guitar and organ join the mix, with other electronic debauchery.
Selected by Hugo Mendez, of Soundways and Sofrito.
The lovely, overlooked music of Guadeloupe and Martinique, which mixes the heavy drums and rhythms of Haiti, the Congo and Puerto Rico into jazz and calypso, and the lilting gentility of the local biguine.
Field recordings of ritual music, made over twenty years amongst Mayan Indians in Mexico. The instruments are hand-made — harps, guitars, drums, little fiddles, and water pipes that mimic bird song.
The master accordionist of Colombia's Musica Tropical movement.
