Genius of Live

Nacional Records is proud to announce the release of Tom Tom Club's Genius of Live. The iconic group's album features tracks from the album Live at the Club House, as well as remix tributes to the timeless smash hit, "Genius of Love." Live at the Club House was recorded with the group performing at peak energy for a collection of friends in their home studio. It features Tom Tom Club's effervescent, energetic, and upbeat live show while proving their original fusion of hip hop, reggae, Afrobeat and funk is truly timeless. The album travels the group's catalog including hits like "Genius of Love" and "Wordy Rappinghood." Recorded shortly after the September 11th tragedy, it converted the stress and paranoia of the times into positive energy. The Tom Tom Club was formed by Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth. Graduates from the Rhode Island School of Design, they moved to New York City where they founded the Talking Heads as a trio with David Byrne. In early 1981, the Talking Heads took a hiatus after five years of touring and four studio albums. Chris and Tina began the Tom Tom Club. Artists like Ozomatli, Nortec Collective, Money Mark, The Pinker Tones and others remix "Genius of Love" on the bonus disc.
