Thanks for the mix. Loving this: “Confession Compas – Eric Virgal”.
How attainable is this?
Hey Babaliah glad you like the sounds! There is a lot of stuff from Guadeloupe and Martinique out there to be discovered, hopefully I’ll get out there again sometime to track a few more down!
Hugo Mendez – you are a legend with a real gift.
Salvana might possibly be the greatest byproduct of human creativity I have ever come across. Dolor’s voice is hypnotic.
Thanks for the comment VIk! Dolor is an amazing artist, glad you share the passion! Cheers, Hugo
Is this mix still available? I’d love to get a listen. I love Cuban music but I don’t know much about other Afro Caribbean sounds. Thanks.
Hi Emily – Thanks for your interest. The mix is still available on the Soundway records site here:
