Panama!2 - Latin Sounds, Cumbia Tropical & Calypso Funk

VINYL FORMAT. Double LP version housed in a gatefold sleeve. Soundway presents the second volume in their Panama series, showcasing the unique tropical music created in Panama during the fertile decades of the 1960s and 1970s. Panama is one of the world's great crossroads - a bridge between North and South America, and home to the great canal that links the Caribbean and the Pacific. The canal itself was built by a huge workforce from all over the Caribbean and South America, each nationality bringing a taste of their culture and music to make up the hugely diverse nation that exists today. After soaking up the varied influences of Panama's diverse population, the dancefloors and bars spat out a heady mix that took in the raw vallenato of neighboring Colombia, the soul and funk of America, the calypso of Trinidad and the son and rumba of Cuba, all combined and re-styled in a uniquely Panamanian fashion, making Panama a central spoke in the wheel of Caribbean music.

the hot sound of Panamanian musica tipica and calypso Espanol throws everything into the mix for a non-stop journey through Afro rhythms, carnival sounds, tipica soul and cumbia madness!
