TRACKLIST Side A King Wellington - Shango Side B Frends - Mystery Music INFO Soundway presents a double-sider of raw, West Indian Funk from 1977. Led by King Wellingtonâ„¢s ËœShangoâ„¢, the stand-out cut harvested from his Sooner Or Later LP finally gets the 45 treatment it deserves. Inspired by the Shango ritual with its roots in Yoruba culture, traces of Calypso music are driven by hypnotic bass and Wellingtonâ„¢s signature vocal, making up a musical blend only found in the Caribbean. Hidden on the B-side, ËœMystery Musicâ„¢ fronted by Canadian musician Tony Springer, embarks on a dreamy, dynamic and even a touch psychedelic trip. Steel pans coupled with floating horns, electronic keyboard effects, crisp drums and subtle guitar licks cook up a soundscape baked by the Trinidad sun. While original copies climb their way to impossible-to-find status, enthusiasts will be excited to hear this sought after piece of music is available on the 45 format again.
