Vibes are everywhere! After acing several well - received 45s, Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band finally release their long - awaited full - length album '55'. This album brings the steel band sound to modern audiences with a great selection of steel band covers and re - interpretations of funk and hip - hop favorites. Multi - instrumentalist and band leader Bjorn Wagner takes the steel pan to new heights with a wide range of tunes. Covers include John Holt's reggae classic 'Police In Helicopter', Faith Evans' 90s R&B hit 'Love Like This', 50 Cent's 'P.I.M.P.', J - Dilla's 'Bacao Suave', Cat Stevens' 'Was Dog A Doughnut', and Dennis Coffey's 'Scorpio'. The BRSB originals are equally impressive, like the spaced - out disco groove on 'Beetham Highway Ride' and the strong rhythm of 'Port Of Spain Hustle'. It's a double vinyl pressing with a digital download included, released by Big Crown Records in 2016.
To enjoy this album, simply put the double vinyl on your turntable and let the music play. You can also use the included digital download to listen on your mobile devices or computer. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid scratching the surface. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. For the digital download, keep it backed up in case you need to reinstall it. Enjoy the amazing sounds of Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band!
