THE SILVERTONES

STEEL ERUPTION

It's real hard to find a good steelband record, but here is one of them. I Can't think of a better way to promote an airline than releasing records of music from the places you fly. BWIA did just that. Although BWIA no longer exists we get this gem of a steelband record. From gospel and Caribbean standards to the Beatles and funk. More BWIA releases in the future but for now enjoy STEEL ERUPTION!

From the back cover:

"It is recorded that early in 1945 the Steel Band was born in the city of port of spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago. Today the Steel Pan (as it is commonly called) is described as the only new instrument to have evolved in the twentieth century.

The story of the Steel Band outlines the devotion of a people who have filled the need of musical expression and their deep desire to attain perfection in this new sound.

This devotion and perfection is easily recognizable as you listen to this album.

The Silvertones, reputed to be one of the world's best Steel Bands, will not fail to fascinate you as you listen to selection after selection of this STEEL ERUPTION."
