Panama! 2 - Latin Sounds, Cumbia Tropical & Calypso Funk on the Ishtmus 1967-77

Volume 2 of Panama! brought to us by the fantastic Soundway-label. Twenty tropical songs created in Panama in the decades of the 1960s and '70s. From Calypso Funk to Típico Soul, from hard Descargas to rustic Cumbia related styles, Panmanian musicians combined styles that reflect their multi-cultural environment during a turbulent time in the young country's history. Just like many Soundway-releases Panama! 2 is a musical pearl, or rather a raw diamond, that shines even more after hearing the record over and over again. Soundway always searches for the long forgotten chapters from some of the world's richest musical cultures and presen the very best in obscure music that have remained unavailable..till they release it! On Panama!2 we see some great names like Skorpio, Los Superiores, The Exciters, The Soul Fantastics, Sir Jablonsky, Los Silvertones and Chilo Pitty. They let the sun shine with their music, sometimes funky, sometimes jazzy but most of al this compilation shows again a great variety including many musical treasures. Open your mind, open your ears and let this latin beats burst out of your speakers! Sunshine guaranteed.
