The Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band is a German collective focused on steelpan music originating in Trinidad and Tobago. The sound of this instrument, described by some as tinny - after all, it is a metal pan - can be played like a long-sounding harp, but also has clear shared characteristics with percussion. As such, it is also excellent for the funky music that the band Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band is
… into. They play covers by Snoop Dogg and other hip-hop artists, as well as familiar tunes like the theme from the series Stranger Things. The combination of recognizable music and groovy rhythms makes this band sound like an inviting live act - even on this album. (JV)more
