Calypsoul 70
Strut Records the !K7 sublabel who gave us the Nigeria 70 compilation a few months ago is back with a new compilation from the same time period in a new setting : Calypsoul 70: Caribbean Soul 1969-1979.
Not much to dissect about the compilation, as we’re basically worthless with our elementary calypso knowledge, however as we love most of the stuff that comes from the Caribbean except cheap dancehall and knowing a few of the tracks on it; one from Lancelot Layne that has already been on undomondo before and another from the the steel drums orchestra Amral’s Trinidad Cavaliers, it’s safe to say that Calypsoul 70 is a hot fuzz of tasty calypso, latin and soul. Out on September 2 but till then can stream the rest from the minisite!
Just heard the news that Skatalites original Johnny “Dizzy” Moore has passed away at the age of 70. So this post is a small tribute to what he’s given to us together with the inspirational Skatalites. 4 more calypso and ska pieces one from Dizzy himself.
