Our Take
Our Take
In the wild, wacky world of Bahamian calypso funk, one name reigns supreme: Babalu and his Headhunters. Their latest album, "Bahamas Gone Independent / Calypso Funkin British English," is a whirlwind of groovy beats, infectious melodies, and enough sass to fill a cruise ship.
From the opening track, "Island Fever," Babalu and his crew transport listeners to a tropical paradise where the rum flows freely and the music never stops. The funky bass lines and Caribbean rhythms are guaranteed to get even the most stoic of concert-goers shaking their hips in no time.
But what truly sets Babalu apart from the rest is his impeccable British English lyrics. The man has a way with words that would make Shakespeare himself blush. Whether he's crooning about love lost in "Calypso Heartbreak" or turning up the heat in "Funky Nights in Nassau," Babalu's storytelling skills are top-notch.
And let's not forget about the Headhunters themselves. These musicians are tight, talented, and know how to keep the party going all night long. Whether it's the soaring horns in "Junkanoo Jam" or the funky guitar riffs in "Carnival Chaos," they never miss a beat.
So grab your flip-flops, mix up a Bahama Mama, and get ready to dance the night away with Babalu and his Headhunters. "Bahamas Gone Independent / Calypso Funkin British English" is a musical journey you won't soon forget. High praise indeed.
