Free Music Notes for Cult Cargo: Belize City Boil Up
Free Music Review: Sho' nuff hot......
Hit: 5 Stars
Stylistically diverse enough to encompass Latin, reggae, funk and burnin' soul, this is still tight enough to be thematic. The theme is temperature. No soft soul a la the Dells and so on. I remember the old Duke records various artists package called "Like 'Er Red Hot" (sadly never reissued on CD). That title would be pretty valid here, not that "Belize City Boil Up" misses the point.
"Can't Go Halfway" and "Shame Shame Shame" are my favorite cuts, but they have plenty of competition.
We also get here a lyrically truncated version of the O'Jays "Backstabber," just a few of the words, but no shortchange on the revved up instrumental section. And Nadia Cattouse makes a nice contribution as the lone female vocalist; here again, within the overall theme.
I love the way Numero Uno handles the cover art of their comps; nice live shots of roots musicians enjoying their craft.
Cult Cargo: Belize City Boil Up Poster
Belizian's call it Boil Up, and it's anything but leftovers. Mix equal parts R&B, calypso, disco, funk, reggae, bruckdown, soul, folk, and whatever else can be found back on the bottom shelf of the musical pantry. Get ready to feast on passport stamped rhythms, second-deck cruise ship melodies, hotel pool calypso, soundtracks to movies not-yet-made, and anything else savory, or unsavory, enough to throw into the pot.Never heard of the funky soul and reggae music of Belize, that sliver of Caribbean coastline just east of Guatemala and south of Cancun? You're probably not alone, and the Belize City Boil Up compilation (the 6th this year from crate-digging music salvagers the Numero Group) is the varied and danceable introduction for the interested yet uninitiated. Soaking up influences from their Jamaican neighbors and their soulful Motown/Stax brethren from the north, these little-known groups recorded a handful of albums and singles in the 60s and 70s. The results showcase rootsy reggae (Belizean patriarchal funkster Lord Rhaburn's "More Love Reggae", The Web's "Rated G"), covers of Wilson Pickett and Johnny Nash, and some funky I-can't-believe-it's-not-sampled beats of the Harmonettes "Shame Shame Shame" and Rhaburn's "Disco Connection". Soulful standouts The Professionals (whose album covers noted their "promptness and reliability") cover both the O'Jays "Back Stabbers" and "Theme from The Godfather" - now that's a group with range! --Ben Heege
