Various Voodoo Mambosis And Other Tropical Diseases - Danse Macabre Vol.2 (LP, colored Vinyl, Ltd.)

(Stag-O-Lee Records) 14 tracks, green-transparent colored vinyl, limited edition

Voodoo Mambosis And Other Tropical Diseases is the 2nd part of a new series on Stag-O-Lee. Four volumes are planned. The original records come from the collection of our esteemed Duke Jens-O-Matic, a graphic artist, internationally acclaimed DJ, collector and hunter for decades.

Back when we first breathed life into Stag-O-Lee, Jens-O-Matic was there to deliver four volumes of the wonderful Jim Jam Gems 10” series. Each one stylistically self-contained. He is currently working on further Jim Jam Gems volumes, but is struggling with the liner notes because “you have an educational mission!”. Now to the present recording: What does a friend of obscure 7” do when he already has everything in the field of rhythm & blues etc.? He looks for other fields of activity. Other countries, other music, other influences. Just like our Jens-O-Matic.

He took a little trip around the world for Voodoo Mambosis, incorporating his new love of cumbia, mixing in a pinch of voodoo, reactivating some old blues heroes and adding some exotica - that never hurts. The great art now is to combine these elements, which are disparate on paper, to create something unique and thoroughly exciting. Voodoo Mambosis And Other Tropical Diseases is the best example of this! The cover, also designed by Jens-O-Matic, is a tribute to the groundbreaking 84 compilation Rockabilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease!
