MAMBO, CHA-CHA-CHA & CALYPSO
: Volume 3
El Vidocq pursues his 'Mambo, Cha-Cha-Cha & Calypso' voyage with this third, vitamin-D-rich ensemble: 'Blues Session'.
Following in the footsteps of the feminine first volume and insane second ensemble, he here explores the rawest roots of this warm, sun-drenched music.
What a delight to discover these groovy tunes from the '50s and '60s uniquely fusing R'n'B, rock'n'roll and blues.
Memphis Slim, Johnny Otis and other legends here loosen up to welcome exotic south-of-the-border influences.
Noro Morales and his piano return to their sunny roots, while Sir Lancelot's voice accompanies a beach bonfire and Eddie Bo declares his love for island melodies...
We share with you an austral archipelago of ageless charms!
