Its been quite a while since we heard any of the cadence sounds of the Caribbean around these parts, so I was excited when I found this in a local fleamarket. Attempts to uncover any information about this group have been completely fruitless, so as usual any knowledge you could impart about La Sensation would be gratefully accepted. What I do know is that this album contains plenty of that itchy, staccatto island funk that we all love so much.
Check this one, its called 'Reverie':
Tracklist:
01 Co
02 Aras Ka Pe
03 Soleil Soleil
04 Frankeinstein

Nice. Love the out of key horns.
Glad you're enjoying this one. I particularly like the French influence on Reverie.
Hope your trip's going well Owl!
Thanks... I never heard a tune of them.
I don't know what island funk means...
If you are interested, I would say, 1, 4, 5, 8 are beguines, 2 a calypso, 3 and 6 are cadence, 7 a bolero and 9 a guajira.
Wow, that's some flea-market find! Hard to believe this is an unknown band - as I listened to it I was exciited by how many of the tracks seemed really top-class cuts. I listened to it twice round witout stopping & they all still seemed fresh and exciting. So this one has jumped straight to the top of my favourites, a Sensation indeed - thank you for the chance to get to know it !!!
PS thanks to Jean-Luc for his help disentangling the different rhythms!
