King Wellington / Frends - Shango
LABEL: Soundway RecordsLed by King Wellington's 'Shango', the stand-out cut harvested from hisSooner Or Later LP fnally gets the 45 treatment it deserves. Inspired by the Shango ritual with its roots in Yoruba culture, traces of Calypso music are driven by hypnotic bass and Wellington's signature vocal, making up a musical blend only found in the Caribbean.Hidden on the B- side, 'Mystery Music' fronted by Canadian musician Tony Springer, embarks on a dreamy, dynamic and even a touch psychedelic trip. Steel pans coupled with foating horns, electronic keyboard effects, crisp drums and subtle guitar licks cook up a soundscape baked by the Trinidad sun. While original copies climb their way to impossible-to-fnd status, enthusiasts will be excited to hear this sought after piece of music is available on the 45 format again.
