All production duties and nearly all instruments by Doctor L & Grant Phabao with star guesting Martin Perna (from Brooklyn), Ocote Soul sounds & Adrian Quesada (from Nicaragua and Austin, Texas) Carlton Livingston, The Lone Ranger and The Jays (from Jamaica), Tita Lima (from Brazil), Allonymous (from Chicago), Roldan (from Cuba), Dom Farkas (from Paris) and Kiala (from Nigeria and Congo).

Quantic - Calypos, Cumbias & Compas
(free MP3) Quantic.org, 2009-10
"A musical mix for October. So, in the constant organisation of the amounting chaos at the side of my record player, this mix was born. Some what of a ‘new arrivals’ mix, here is the best of music found recently from Trinidad, Haiti, Colombia & Africa. I’m particularly warming to calypso of late & Charanga too, from Colombia’s north coast. And it’s off to Cartagena in the north this weekend to experience nearby Palenque’s festival of Tambores, from what friends tell me, it really is a unique festival, quite looking forward to it. In the meantime, enjoy this mix of new music (some of it over 50 years old!)." (Source : quantic.org)
