We'd like to announce the release of our fourth CD of Mumbo music 

  The Album is a collection of original songs {6, 7,9 10} of  New Orleans {2,3,11,12}, music from some of the lands that touch on the Caribbean Sea, bringing to this album Latin{4,5} & Reggae {8}flavors , a wiff of Worchester {1} and the R&B of East L.A. {13}.

   These songs are from our past and our present influences.

 Music composed by or made known to us by… Los Lobos, Desi Arnez, John Mayall, Ry Cooder, Dr. John, The Neville Bros.  and some timeless Mardi Gras standards, of which I don’t know why we didn’t record before.

  Recorded in the wilds near Westmeath by our bassist Grant Tomkinson…with only the band, no guests…trying not to add the kitchen sink…just the sounds we normally make…the instrumentals are one takes…more of a live feel to the whole album. In the dead cold of winter… in the mosquito & heat drenched hills north of Ottawa…well it took a little while… Yes, even huddled in a van they traversed up and down Hwy 17 at all hours of the day and night…actually it was quite a nice drive and I sometimes brought a picnic…so much for the blood, sweat and tears, angst filled part.
