Somebody needs to chop up that intro and make a drum and bass track

[music4pleasure]

I Remember it was Summer 1992 i was walking on Portobello Road, Notting Hill, London when I heard this wicked music coming out of some speakers on the side of the road. 2 guys offered me 2 buy a cassete tape called Funk Gun with this great song on it. I still got this tape.....and now finally i got this track on CD. Thx for that.

[theflyroller]

These guys are freakin' GREAT!! Thank you so much for posting this!!!

[ericford]

This sounds like how Miami used to smell when I was a kid. Mangos, cigars, flowers, good cooking, and fresh sea breezes.

Great Upload GROOOOOOOVEEYYY!!!

[phillydisco]

When was this LP released? The CD reissue didn't list a year. I assumed it must have been a year or so before Nico's Chakachas work. Maybe 1969 at the earliest. The guitar effects are more 70s.

[phillydisco]

Never mind. I see on your upload for Baila it's 1971.

[drinkofengland]

[meinwalkmanistkaputt]

[RayTide9]

THANK U FOR THIS UPLOAD MAN

[hakjedepanin]

did anybody knew that Nico Gomes was a white Belgium guy wo's name actually is Josef van het Groenewoud? pretty funny right?

[maartenvandervleuten]

@hakjedepanin yep, i knew. He is still alive though. Ritual was written by R. Lolandson AKA Raymond Van Het Groenewoud (his son ;-)

[eposterr]

@hakjedepanin: Born in Amsterdam, though.

[HannesF1969]

@hakjedepanin de papa van Raymond

Many thanks to the uploader.

BREAK IS TOO NASTY

[bossabomdia]

Got two LPs from them (this one, and a compilation of JDL records), and think that they made maybe the best music in the world. Check out Baila Chibiquiban from them (the really best song! :) ) and also the music of The Chakachas group (possibly made by almost the same guys)

[MrHotpantsImComin]

I agree Baila Chibiquiban is the best track on the album. I'll post it soon if nobody else does.

[Wibble99O]

I love you!

Your tunes are a proper education man. Total respect.

[largui]

yeaaa great.. this one and lupita are dope... i want em i need them

[ncoups]

buy em! ;-)

[largui]

[almo24]

crazy tune!!!!

[SCOOBYNG83]

Holy shit, this is like something Mean Gene would cut up circa 1977. It's like Bongolia but really off the scale. Nice one!

[shonuffLA]
