Amral's Trinidad Cavaliers Steel Orchestra - Steel Vibrations [PRP 198/CALYPAN 010 - 1973]



Amral's Trinidad Cavaliers Steel Orchestra - Steel Vibrations [PRP 198/CALYPAN 010 - 1973]

Produced by Trinidadian travel agency Amral, Steel Vibrations was created predominately in an attempt to market Trinidadian tourism to Americans, The result of this band/record/marketing ploy is an incredible record of steel drum covers of popular Western music.

Steel drum "Hava Nagila?" Sure. "Rock Around The Clock?" Of course. To be frank you haven't lived until you've heard Amral's surprisingly hardcore version of "Oye-Como Va," a song that legitimately makes me want to punch a cop. 
  1. Somewhere My Love
  2. Hava Nagila
  3. Oye-Como Va
  4. Matilda
  5. Love Story
