For today, I wanted to share with you “Tango Boo Gonk “, a cover of the Soul classic composed in 1971 by Kentucky’s native band “Nite-Liters“, reinterprated in 1972 in a warmer & heavier Funky Calypsoul B-Boy Beat way by the Blue Rhythm Combo from the Barbados in their holygrail debut album recorded at the mythical local Rec Studios.

This band produced some of the heaviest Funk records to come out of the Caribbean in the early ‘70s – crossing the local Spouge rhythm with a heavy dose of American styled funk and soul.

It was composed with Bert “Panta” Brown, Clarence Thompson, Don Allamby, Jeff Grannum, Kurt Dallaway, Leroy William, Tony “Boo” Rudder, Tony Grazette & Winston Blackett.

Instant Tropical dance floors stormer, hope you’ll like it – Enjoy !

For today, I wanted to share with you “Colon Colon“, a gorgeous melancholic Tropical Latin Calypso Soul track with sweet Island Reggae flavors & bewitching guitar parts, recorded on the 30 of November 1970 by the mythical Panamanian producer, composer & musician Wilfred Methusiel Berry Gonin better known as “Lord Cobra“, one of the most important calypsonians, not only in Panamabut throughout the Caribbean, standing out as a troubadour and as a composer.

Among dozens of pieces he composed, we can mention “Banana”, “The Man with the Big Suitcase” and the famous “Baptism”.

This track (my favorite from this artist by far !) was released on the mythical owned by the legendary producer Rodrigo De Jesús Escobar Tamayo – Hope you’ll like it, enjoy !
