Description:
Available on LP. The second in our series of exploration of the pan-American funk experience, Cult Cargo: Gran Bahama Goombay is a deep overview of Funky Nassaus redheaded sister city, Freeport, GBI. From 1969-1976, Frank Penns GBI studio and label cranked out a dozen LPs and twice as many singles infected with the Miami sounds drifting in over the 100 mile strait. The catalog is a fruity blend of rake and scrape, bush, junkanoo, calypso, reggae, and of course, goombay, all with a twist of American soul. The deluxe 2LP set features a bonus track and a gorgeous pullout sleeve chronicling the islands LP and 45 history. (Numero)
