Chin's Calypso Sextet (c.1955)

28 consecutive #78rpm hits to bring a little vintage #Caribbean sunshine to your day. Chin's was consistently a strictly rural mento band, with lead singer Alerth Bedasse's mento voice and an instrumental line up of bamboo instruments, #banjo, acoustic guitar and #rumba box.

Mastodetiquette seems to suggest I introduce myself, so... By day I'm a figure skating music editor @skatingmusicguy, in my spare time I make #hauntology #electronicmusic using #folkinstruments #kantele #xaphoon #saxophone #analoguesynths #modularsynth #Lyricon #oscillators #vintagemusicalinstruments #bitsofoldrubbish and #randomitemsIfoundinaskip. My album #TheDarkIsRising (radiophonic 1970s-ish soundtrack to the #SusanCooper book) came out on #cassette 2018, digital 2019, and on vinyl v soon!
