In the land of Bermuda shorts, music and dances with roots in Africa are called gombey. This mysterious British overseas territory, a favourite of American tourists, also adopted the calypso. Fabrice Uriac & BrunoBlum have unearthed some of the essential recordings of calypso’s Golden Age, made by such originals as Sidney Bean, the Talbot Brothers, Reuben McCoy, Hubert Smith, Al Harris or jazzman Lance Hayward… A unique anthology that reveals the best artists in The Bermudas, finally rediscovered.
