Man From Wareika - High-Quality Men's Apparel for Casual & Streetwear Fashion | Perfect for Everyday Wear, Urban Outfits & Music Festivals

I'd like to write a review of trombone man Rico Rodruigez's legendary "Man From Wareika" which really communicates the greatness of this classic LP. It is quite daunting, and perhaps even futile, to try to put into words what "Man From Wareika" is all about. To save both of us some precious time, I offer these brief impressionistic observances:Lush tropical vibes. Bright, brilliant horn lines and deep grooving bass. Unstoppable skanking guitar. Dread rhythms. Funky, percolating percussion. Swirling mystic organ. Piping flutes. Colorful, ever-unfurling melodies of bottomless inspiration. Jazz, soul, rocksteady, latin, funk and, of course, reggae. Pure instrumental joy.Recorded in 1976, "Man From Wareika" first came out on Blue Note records, which is a singular achievement for a Jamaican LP. This album is renowned and beloved by aficionados of Jamaican music. It sounds phenomenally fresh and new listen after listen. It is Rico Rodruigez's masterpiece, a masterpiece of Jamaican music, and a masterpiece of recorded music in general. It's hard to make something so inspiring and uplifting, while at the same time retaining a true dread depth, but Rico manages this feat brilliantly here. There are some amazing Jamaican instrumental recordings out there, but none sound quite like "Man From Wareika."Brilliant stuff, and a true classic.Enjoy.
