Burning Flames

From Antigua, this music group represents the epitome of the high-energy, multiple-influenced, synthesizer-driven soca rings of a number of the other soca islands. Many years of visitor gigs along with a stint as backup music group to Montserrat calypsonian Arrow laid the groundwork for his or her single debut … total domination from the Antigua carnival in 1986 with Stiley Tight. Components of rock and roll, funk, reggae, cadence, zouk, and much more, place to frenetic tempos of amphetamine-like percentage, were the brand of this music group until 1989’s “Workey Workey,” a cool, zoukish second-line which was an international feeling. They zouked it out additional in 1990 with “Chook and Drill down” and soon afterward had been anthologized on the Mango release, Drill down, even though re-mixing completed for the record worked well towards the detriment of every cut. They will have used Antigua Street March nearly every yr since 1985.
