Hidden Charms

London’s nightclubs have been shaking to the rockin’ sounds of jive, blues and rock’n’roll for the past fifty years and to celebrate this fact, Rhythm & Blues Records, together with Jake Vegas Inc and DJ Snakester have compiled a selection of tracks as part of the Rumba Blues series, that have been getting the cats on the dance floor at Soho’s Hidden Charms nights. The disc is full of Latin beats with rumbas, boleros and tumbaos to the fore. The New Orleans inverted son clave features on four tracks and there’s a bit of jazz and blues to spice things up. The guys have dubbed the tracks direct from disc as they are all currently unavailable on CD at time of writing. So if you were there or wish you’d been there, here’s your chance to listen to some rediscovered hidden charms at home!
