SNDW 12011EP
Soundway presents a slice of raw Trinidad carnival roots with a progressive twist, from one of the island's most forward-thinking musical minds. Highlife-techno pioneer
DrumTalk
morphs it into a dark electro-tropical groove.
Lancelot Layne
was one of the most-respected of Trinidad's late 20th-century musicians and the originator of
rapso
-- a fusion of Trinidadian
soca
and American hip-hop that grew out of the unrest of the 1970s. Layne's early recordings mixed social commentary with calypso, Africanism and an upfront lyrical style. Includes mp3 download.
