Try Again Sound System

Welcome back to Try Again Sound System, Episode 2. We're going to take a trip around the world for funky and weird covers of huge international hits, in most particular versions: cumbias, boogaloo, highlife... Most of these versions where really hard to find until recent days, where some records labels made a huge effort in publish on CD some incredible music from africa, south and central america... I've listed the albums (or Various Artists Compilations where you can find those gems - amongst other).
