TropiPhonic Vol 6 Golpes De Peru con Sir Ramases

Part Two of our COVID-19 mix series "Triángulo Tropical | Tropical Triangle" features 60s -80s Vinyl and Cassette | Afro-Indigenous Garifuna | Punta, Punta Rock, Parranda, Calypso, Salsa, Merengue from Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Nicaragua #CuidatedelOmicronBA2 #QuedateEnCasa

Part One (Cabo Verde) is here: tinyurl.com/troptriang1   
Part Three (Guyana) is here: tinyurl.com/troptriang3

History of the Garifuna:    From 1500s to the 1700s, Shipwrecked africans mixed with indigenous Arawaks / Caribs ( Kalingo ) on the islands of Yurumei (Saint Vincent) and Dominica to create a hybrid race of people called the Garinagu (Plural for Garifuna )

Around the late 1700s, after more than 20 plus years of battling with French and British colonizers for land on the islands, the Garinagu were exiled to the island of Baliceaux then to the island Roatan off the coast of Honduras by the British at the end of intercolonial "Seven Years" War and First / Second Carib Wars.
 
Given the harsh conditions on the isle of Roatan, the Garinagu migrated to the caribbean coast of Central America namely Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Nicaragua with their african and indigenous musical heritage, customs, and culture still intact.

The main two genres of Garinagu music from the 40s -70s  were Punta and guitar based Parranda unitl the punta was electrified and combined with calypso and soca elements to create a new sound Punta Rock. 

In the late 70s and early 80s, the Garinagu migrated further north to the USA and settled in states like New York, Florida, New Orleans, Texas, and California.

In the early 80s. the first bands in the USA started local "tropical" parties catering to a wide audience of people all backgrounds. They played their afro based punta, parranda, and punta rock while adding salsa, merengue, calypso, kompa, soca, reggae,  dub songs to their repetoire.

West African and Venezuelan inspired dancefloor 45 from Cyril Diaz. Limited to 500 copies.--- Return of Cyril Diaz sees the 50's bandleader play the roots music of his Afro-Venezuelan parentage. His father Gordon Diaz migrated to Trinidad sometime in the early 1900's. 

Throughout the 1950's Cyril Diaz and his big band calypso orchestra toured the Caribbean and South America recording culturally inspired hybrid calypsos with an african and latin tinge. Showcased here is his fascination with west african shango on "Mme Killio" and the cuban derived but venezuelan made rumba on "Lena."

Johnny Gomez And His Orchestra - Caribbean Hurricane

Combo Chimbita is a new offshoot of the fast-rising M.A.K.U Soundsystem from the minds of musicians Camilo Rodriguez & Felipe Quiroz. M.A.K.U and Combo Chimbita are comprised of young first-generation New Yorkers from Colombia, and their sound combines the duel trombone attack of classic NYC Salsa with a rootsy, bass-heavy, laid back organic groove. Their first recording, Puro Show, recorded direct to tape in their in-house studio in Queens, La Casa Del Indio, is the sound and shape of things to come for this talented Combo.
