It’s Carnival Time

Posted by  mark

Los Hombres Calientes: Irvin Mayfield & Bill Summers’ Vol.5: Carnival CD was released after Mardi Gras in 2005 and we know what happened in August 2005. This CD kind of “slipped through the cracks”. But, it was recorded in 6 countries with a crazy budget that is unheard of these days and illustrates the similarities around the world in the music of Carnival. Put it on. Put in on loud. It’s Carnival time!

Available wherever great music is sold.
