Description
Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, the mysterious steel pan outfit hailing from Hamburg, Germany have amassed a cult following around the globe. With a slew of classic 7a€ќs 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. While part of the allure of a new Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band album is finding out what covers they do it is equally intriguing to see what original tunes they cooked upland this record is foul of stand out originals. The album opener, a€?In The Crosshairsa€ќ is a rough and tough mid tempo head nodder while both a€?Grilleda€ќ & a€?Treasure Questa€ќ pick up the tempo with heavy African Funk influences on both. Bacao goes deep with a€?Hazy Memoriesa€ќ, a bass heavy slow burner that walks a line between hypnotic and hype. All these originals stand as testament that the term a€?cover banda€ќ is a shoe that could never fit Bacao. However, in the tradition of steel pan music, they do a heavy amount of covers. This time around there is a big West Coast Hip Hop influence with covers of Game & 50 Cents a€?How We Doa€ќ, Dr Dre & Snoop Doggs a€?Nuthin But A G Thanga€ќ, and Tupacs a€?Got My Mind Made Upa€ќ all of which take on new energy and lend themselves to the BRSB steel treatment. Bacao puts another certified dancefloor filler on their resume with their cover of Claudja Barrys uber Disco classic a€?Love For The Sake Of Lovea€ќ which they flip into a dubbed out affair aptly changing even the title to a€?Love For The Sake Of Duba€ќ. Pulling from the contemporary smash hit section of Hop Hop they cover Drakes a€?Hotline Blinga€ќ and a€?Love$icka€ќ by Mura Masa & A$AP Rocky. Then they go very unexpected with a€?Stranger Things Themea€ќ where they take the synth heavy theme song to the hit show and give it a more hypnotizing tone than the original. By the time BRSB is through, Bacao has taken the listener on a journey spanning a myriad of energies, tempos, and moods while keeping it all under one umbrella. For all that, these songs are alive, and they will be taken out of the context of this album and sewn into the fabric of DJ sets around the globe for many years to come. Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band continues building their legacy and pushing the boundaries of steel pan music forward with another rock solid musical offering. Enjoy.
