Music for a sunny Thursday, and they don't come much better than Afrocubism's take on 'Jarabi'.

Ever feel you're sitting in limbo...bending over backwards not knowing when to let your back stop? Jimmy Cliff can help for a Carib Thursday!

Following the very enjoyable Studio 17 doc, here's the Gaylettes doing a great take on 'Son of a Preacher Man'. Hadn't heard it before.

Next month World Circuit are re-releasing a smartened update of Ibrahim Ferrer's material, containing previously unreleased material, it would seem. For a Carbbean Thursday here's the wonderful 'Ven Conmigo Guajira' to bring a bit light to a Scottish dark day, and wherever else you happen to be.

Not sure if Guatemala constitutes Caribbean, but the other day a version of 'Nibari' turned up in a junk shop purchase of Charlie Gillett's 'World 2006' compilation by Umalali featuring the unusual voice of Sofia Blanco.

At least I think it's Thursday, so a bit old style Augustus and his melodica on the mighty 'King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown' for a Caribbean whatever-day-it-is. Wish the sun would come out here...maybe this'll bring it out!

Ahh, Cachaito, or, to give him his full name Candelario Orlando López Vergara; nicknamed Cachaito after his uncle, also a bassist, Israel "Cachao" López.
A most relaxing track

Not that I wish to bother you, G, but what day is it anyway? Lovely wee tune, by the way...one for any day.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post
