Don Ralke

Artist: Don Ralke
LP: Bongo Madness
Song: "Calypso Cubano"
[ listen ]

the music doesn't quite live up to that LP cover and frankly, it sounds more like 'Bongo Nonchalance,' but I guess it's pretty good anyhow. Other musicians playing with Ralke here are Buddy Collette, Jack Burger, Don Tosti and Tom Wofford. LP liner notes for "Calypso Cubano": A happy calypso wanders the streets of Trinidad telling amusing stories. He stops, converses merrily with a friend, and goes on his way.
