Hard to find original Dutch pressing on Negram label. This is a rare (& one of the best) Caribbean - psych - soul - funk - afro - rock steel bands albums!
This Steel band is a twelve-piece seventies party band, consisting of Surinames and Trinidadian musicians.
Since Surinam was still part of The Netherlands in those days, the name of the band abroad was The Original Trinidad Steel Band and released two albums as such (Beautiful Caribbean and Caribbean Steel & Show on Hansa, with Frank Farian as their producer), apart from their three Dutch albums. Their most interesting Dutch album is Funky Limbo (EMI, 1978), which was produced by Ernie Anches. Anches was also involved with various other funky Surinam acts, such as Oscar Harris, The Twinkle Stars and Thunderstorm.
Check the Afro-Funky bomb "Funky Stuff", cover version of the Kool & the Gang classic tune, the "Theme from Shaft" (Great Funky version with Wah Wah Guitar & beatiful steel drums) & the Funky Rock version of "Down by the River" among others. But the whole album are gorgeous.
