Sunshiners

Welkam Bak Long Vanuatu [Reggae]

RELEASE: 05.09.2008

LABEL: Ter A Terre

VERTRIEB: Groove Attack

Unlike the many throwaway CDs that tend to surface around this time, Sunshiners is no bright marketing idea or opportunistic compilation only good for adding a touch of colour to the blues of Western nights and proving that summer is really here.

The album is a bombshell of spontaneity and humanity, a live encounter between a handful of French grey-sky refugees and four rich-voiced Vanuatuan singers, leaders of local groups gathered together for the first time in search of new experiences. Together, these men have adapted unstoppable standards of British rock and pop that had their hour of glory in the mid-80s and have now been taken off to bask in good-vibe sunshine on shores of unrepressed reggae!

After a successful first record (15.000 copies sold in France), Sunshiners come back with a new album: from “Back In Black” (AC/DC) to “Come On Eileen” by Dexy’s Midnight Runners and “Should I Stay Or Should I Go” by The Clash, here are 13 hits reinvented by this ingenious band.
