Bahama Soul Club – The Cuban Tapes

Spanky Wilson, Bessie Smith, Ruthie Foster, Danay Suarez, Arema Arega, Telmary, Anna Luca

Darker, deeper a bit more mystic than what you probably expected from The Bahama Soul Club. Alluring Tiki blended through Jazz with Afro-Cuban rhythms and instrumentation, environmental sounds and lush romatic themes and not without a twinkled eye for the Exotica genre.

„Sure everything is based on Bahama Soul-ish kind of established and reknown rhythm and sound, but this time we spotted more on the composition with more harmonies and a soft spot on fine melodies. If you try to visualize a splendid Jazzband in a cuban night club in the mid 60s. Then you probably got it.“

Indeed the work on this album was deeply inspired by the breathtaking pictures of the most deliriously beautiful films ever made: „I Am Cuba“, directed 1964 by Mikhail Kalatozov and presented in the 90s by Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese. The rights owners of this film ‚The Cuban Institute Of Cinematography‘ totally fell in love with the first songs for this album and also with the idea to combine the footage with the music. They finally agreed to several scenes for a couple of videos to support „The Cuban Tapes“ with pure genuine cuban patina. The first video is a trailer featuring the opening song „Ay Jona“.
