1LP - Indie store yellow vinyl
Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, the mysterious steel pan outfit hailing from Hamburg, have amassed a cult following around the globe. With a slew of classic 7"s and three critically acclaimed full length albums, they set a high bar for themselves, one they clearly intend on pushing even higher with this new offering.
On their fourth album "BRSB", Bacao are back with more of the same, but more of the same with them is inherently different. Covering songs that span genres and range from mega hits to underground album cuts, they make them their own with their unique approach to the traditional steel pans of Trinidad and Tobago.
This time around there is a big West Coast hip hop influence with covers of Game & 50 Cent's "How We Do", Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg's "Nuthin But A G Thang", and Tupac's "Got My Mind Made Up", all of which take on new energy and lend themselves to the BRSB steel treatment. Pulling from the contemporary smash hit section of hip hop they cover Drake's "Hotline Bling" and "Love$ick" by Mura Masa & A$AP Rocky.
Then they go very unexpected with "Stranger Things Theme" where they take the synth heavy theme song to the hit show and give it a more hypnotizing tone than the original.
