about

BJR002 - GOOMBAY! Music from the Bahamas 1951-59 (EN)

Just off the Florida coast, Bahamian Goombay music is a succulent hybrid, somewhere between rhythm and blues, Trinidadian calypso and Jamaican mento, yet it comes from The Bahamas, where it lives on as a separate style. The presence of world-class composers and performers Blind Blake Higgs, George Symonette or Charlie Adamson made the sounds of Nassau a Golden Age, filled with unique charm and tropical dreams. This music is finally available again on vinyl after 60 years!

BJR002 - GOOMBAY! Music from the Bahamas 1951-59 (F)

Proche de la Floride, le Goombay des Bahamas est un succulent hybride entre rhythm and blues, calypso trinidadien et mento jamaïcain, mais reste un style à part.
Avec des compositeurs et interprètes anglophones de classe internationale comme Blind Blake Higgs, George Symonette ou Charlie Adamson, le son de Nassau a connu un âge d’or au charme unique, chargé de rêves tropicaux.

I have been several times in Belém and around in the delta of the Amazon & Tocantins rivers, went to carimbó little festivals in the middle of Marajó Island, taking analog photos of these afro-delta traditions, between 2000-2010 ... this release is huge, I pay homage to Samy Ben Redjeb for suceeding such a project! I hope one day Analog goes for French Guyana, Martinique & Guadeloupe vintage sounds. These CARIMBÓ-SIRIA & candomblé songs are FANTASTIC ! Chat-verre
