Strut turns its magnifying glass onto the Carribean for , a celebration of the magnificent array of crossover calypso, reggae, Latin, Afro, and soul styles that emerged, often from small studio and label stables, during the 70s. Taking the listener on a nonstop islandhop, the albums digs deep into Trinidads steel pan and marching band archives with a terrific pan cover of Gwen McCraes 90 Of Me Is You, alongside tough social commentary by rapso pioneer, Lancelot Layne. It features a sprinkling of Latin dynamite from Martinique legend Marius Cultier and Cuban salsa heroes Los Van Van and touches on island links with Africa courtesy of Eze Rockcliffes Yoruba Singers Guyana and an Afrobeatinspired plea for freedom from legendary calypsonian, Duke. To finish, it adds in a strong helping of fascinating soul and disco fusions from shortlived island bands like Magic Circle Express St. Lucia, The Vibrations Virgin Gorda and Ophelia Dominica. As well as a valuable selection for diggers, the album is designed as an ultrahandy package for DJs with a host of playable tracks and rare cover versions. All in all, the perfect funky tropical summer soundtrack for the beach, club or BBQ.

VINYL FORMAT. Soundway Records presents the tropical sound of Colombia. From the salsas and descargas of Cali, Medellin and Bogota to the Afro sounds and raw cumbias of Cartagena and Barranquilla, this is the sound of Colombian dancehalls and clubs in the 60s and 70s, when the legendary Discos Fuentes record label led the way. The sounds emanating from the barrios and beaches of Colombia are a unique mixture of Latin sounds and Afro rhythms, drawing influences from the New York and Puerto Rican Latin scenes, the highlife and rumba of West Africa and the calypso of the Caribbean, as well as the tropical rhythms of the Colombian cumbia, gaita, fandango and porro. Driving percussion, swinging horns, hot pianos and jumping bass lines this music was made for dancing.
