Cult Cargo: Grand Bahama Goombay/ Various - Cult Cargo: Grand Bahama Goombay

The second in our series of exploration of the pan-American funk experience, CULT CARGO: GRAND BAHAMA GOOMBAY is a deep overview of Funky Nassau's redheaded sister, Freeport, GBI. From 1969-1976 Frank Penn's GBI studio and label cranked out a dozen LPs and twice as many singles infected with the Miami sounds drifting in over the 100 mile strait. The catalog is a fruity blend of rake and scrape, bush, junkanoo, calypso, reggae and of course, goombay, with a twist of American soul. The 76 minute, 16 track CD feature Jay Mitchell, Frank Penn, Dry Bread, the Mustangs, Ozzie Hall and more.
