After the overwhelming positive response to their previous release Disc'o'Lypso, Trans Air Records returns with arguably their funkiest Caribbean compilation yet: West Indies Funk. Check!

The warm sounds and breezy rhythms of the islands come to life on 11 choice cuts from a selection of top talents, ranging from the Esso Trinidad Steel Band's steel drum-infused cover of the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" to the smooth, sweet harmonies of Wendell Stuart on "My World Is Empty Without You," to the thick bass and funky organ of "Cardova" by Syd Jones & the Troubadours. Curated and compiled for maximum enjoyment, West Indies Funk is guaranteed to be a staple for your stereo.

Comes on a double-vinyl pressing, with audio remastered from the original analog tapes for optimum sound quality.
