Kalima! + Singles

LTM are proud to announce an expanded reissue of the second album by Kalima, originally released by Factory Records in 1987 and long unavailable on CD and is now out digitally! Kalima were formed in late 1983 from the ashes of the Swamp Children, whose sole album was reissued by LTM earlier in 2004. Purveyors of smooth latin, jazz and funk flavours, the band released three albums on Factory between 1986 and 1990, and earned widespread respect for their vaulting ambition and commitment to forms soon discarded by the superficial ‘New Jazz’ movement of the mid 1980s. Originally released in March 1988, Kalima! was their second collection of cool, swingin’ cuts to smokey, smooching, moonlighting, 4 am-ing romantics. Where the Downtown ‘wow’ types meet the Uptown serious collectors, and the talk is loud but never cheap.
