Rare recordings from the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique in the French Caribbean – rare Afro Latin grooves from the mid 60s to the mid 70s – a fantastic compilation from the global groove compilation heroes at Soundway! The material generally has the thumping drum & percussion backdrop the seizes you pretty hard, but some of more of a lilting melodicism, and many manage both – and simply put, a wonderful primer on more than a decade of Caribbean sounds that we just haven't heard enough! Lighter melodies mix with heavier drums, and it's blend of Creole, Haitian, Congolese and Puerto Rican influences that's passionate and amazing! 20 tracks on the CD: "Jeunesse Vauclin" by Barel Coppet Et Mister Lof, "Jet Biguine" by Les Loups Noirs D'Haiti, "Henri Te Vle Maye" by Robert Mavounsy Quartet, "Oriza" by Les Kings, "D'Leau Coco" by Les Leopards, "Jojo" by Ensemble La Perfecta, "Fileo" by Francisco, "Jean Fouille, Pie Fouille" by Robert Loison and more.  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
