ANDRE TANKER FIVE - VINYL AFRO BLOSSOM WEST -HQ- [VINYL]

Popis - AFRO BLOSSOM WEST -HQ- [VINYL]:
Reissue of very rare album, originally released in 1969 on the local Atman label from Trinidad. When this album was first released, the young combo around vibraphonist and singer Andre Tanker conveyed a new style mix, which apparently naturally merged quite different musical influences into a new whole. At the centre of the music of the Andre Tanker Five was jazz in its Caribbean, Trinidadian style, a combination of the modern jazz of those days and the sounds of the extremely popular steeldrum bands of the time. A very decisive addition is typical for Trinidad: Calypso. Calypso stands for the attitude to life of this young generation of musicians, for the 'Good Time Feeling' and the desire to incorporate danceable Caribbean rhythms and Afro-Latin grooves into their individual style.
