Walter Ferguson's second disc presents a renewed face of Costa Rica's most prolific calypsonian: good humor and small disasters, typical of Caribbean life. A delicious disc for all listeners to enjoy, laugh and forget their pains for a while.
Bio / Background
In his second disc, Mr. Gavitt dusted off several songs he had almost forgotten like “Carolyne”, “One Pant Man” and “Bugaloo”; he paid a homage to Jamaican traditional songs by including the piece “72 Weeds”, the 72 weeds capable of curing any illness, if only you manage to pronounce all their names correctly, and he interprets a piece by Papa Houdini, old calypsonian who he considers his mentor.
So, we unplugged the nearby refrigerators once again, begged the hotel guests to be quiet, asked the bus drivers and delivery truck drivers to turn off their engines and put up the matresses in the studio/room. This time, the dogs and parrots proved an amazing degree of respect to Papaya Music's microphones and we managed to record Dr. Bombodee y otros pequeños desastres.
Bombodee sounds like a somersault. It has no translation. It is a word Walter Ferguson used to hear a lot as a child in Cahuita, a small village that was isolated from the outside world until the 1980s.
