Black Mountain Records presents the highly anticipated compilation album "Higher Ground" featuring music from legendary soca artist Ajala, Brother Marvin, Deuel (Ninja Band International) and future legend Chocklet. Produced by Frankie McIntosh, Parry Jack, Eddie Quarless, Cherry Ince, and Vincent Harry and engineered by Grammy award winner Cynthia Daniels. This is an excellent record for neophytes to soca and calypso and those who grew up with it. From socially conscious music with stinging social commentary, to spiritual, to party and 'wuk up' music, this compilation contains it all and then some.
"Higher Ground" is a wonderful testimony to the exciting musical artform that is Soca Music originated by Lord Shorty in the 60's. Trinidad's East Indian and African heritages have never been so completely represented in one CD before. "Higher Ground" is perfect for anyone wanting to expand their scope in Caribbean music and a refreshing return to the talented sons of Trinidad and Soca.
