Voodoo Moon - 50s 60s Spiritual Mambo & Calypso [Dig This Way Archive]
In the last months we have been trying to put together a selection of deep Mambo and Calypso shallac 78rpm and 45rpm from Africa and various Caribbean islands from the mid 50s till the early 60s.
It took us a long time to gather those records , expecially in Africa ,Mambo and calypso were generally happy songs and what can be considered deep and spiritual is such a little % that over thousands of shallacs and 45rpm we have been able to gather only an handful that reflected whah we were looking for.
Mixing this hour of music we were surprised to hear how similar some of those tracks are even if they were made thousands km one from the other , Ghana , Nigeria , Congo , Trinidad , Jamaica , Antilles and Mexico , it all sounds like it was done to play nicely together.
We hope you can enjoy it
