VARIOUS ARTISTS

Calypso & Kwela, Highlife & Jazz From Young Black London. A wonderful follow up to the great first volume!
London Is The Place For Me compiles the stylistically varied music coming from the emergent West Indian and African communities of 50s and 60s London - far more than just the topical, and often quite whimsical calypso tunes of the era! Calypso is well represented, but the set includes strains of jazz, percussive instrumentals that veer towards native Tridad and Nigeria, and loads of Caribbean grooves! It's all exceptionally bright - with some lovingly, and knowingly, naive vocals that are as sweet as they are wise.
A truly wonderful compilation.
Essential! 20 tracks in all: "Calypso Be" by Young Tiger, "Yolanda" by Ambrose Campbell, "Calypso Blues" by Mona Baptiste, "My Wife's Nightie" by Lord Kitchener, "Ominara" by West African Rhythm Brothers, "Gerrard Street" by King Timothy, "ET Mensah's Rolling Ball" by West African Swing Stars, "West Indian Drums" by Russ Henderson, "Gbonimawo" by Rans Boi's Ghana Highlife Band and more!
