V/a / Cult Cargo - Belize City Boil Up

Numero Group

It is here in these sixty odd minutes that The Numero Group unveils a style of music completely unknown to the greater world before they dragged it from the beaches of Belize. The national dish of Belize is made with a diverse mixture of ingredients, pig's tail, potatoes, plantains, bananas, boiled eggs, yams, whole fish, thrown in a pot, and boiled to perfection. They call it a Boil Up. The music of this collection combines equal parts of R&B, calypso, disco, funk, reggae, bruckdown, soul, folk, and whatever else can be found back on the bottom shelf of the musical pantry. Tracks recorded between 1960 and 1980.
