Calypsoul Boogie

Sometimes I do special edits for certain DJ gigs.  On Saturday December 17th, 2011 we had our BEMBE Party during my residency at The Vagabond in Miami.  I made this edit that afternoon before the party and opened my set with it.  My strongest memory that night was watching a few Cubans and other Orisha worshippers losing their minds when I put this on.

Enjoy!

Au Revoir, Mogadishu (B)

we came across this great mix by caykh recordings of the golden days of somali music. sounds from before the war, songs from before the beautiful city of mogadishu became a battle ground for 2 decades. 

"This Mix of 70's and 80's Somali sound is a rich blend of traditional Somali folk music infused with Western funk, rock and reggae and a touch of Indian, Arabic and African flavors.

There are hardly any proper releases of this soulful sound of guitar, synthesizer and drums. I spent some months finding, compiling and editing rips of TV and live recordings on old VHS tapes and radio broadcasts to cassette tapes and here is what I got. Enjoy! With love from Mogadishu."

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."

Nils Bech - "Glimpse Of Hope"

Here's a short mix of some favorite Old Calypso tunes made between 1956 & 1960, recorded from original vinyls of my collection (Sorry, some are in pity condition!!) 
Most of them are minor style calypso and come from Trinidad & Tobago the native land of Calypso (except for 'Love Alone' that come from Nassau, many were performed & recorded in Nex-York)
Calypso is about commitments, since the very beginning in the 20s to fight slavery it has always remain a voice to express political & social issues but also simple day life stories and with a hot comical lyrical tradition ! 
Many influences here, and huge roots for further musical styles & tendencies to come thanx to this heritage (Soca, reggae, ska, but also hip hop or dancehall to me by the lyricist tradition, the rhythm ....)
I prepare this lil' selection in honor of the great Calypso Queen : Calypso Rose, for our next party coming in Geneva at Les Creatives Festival Nov. the 11th 2016. 
All selected with Love, Passion & smiles, I hope you'll enjoy it :)
Please Keep peace around !
