Fresh Fruit In Foreign Places CD (Remastered 2021)

A 1981 classic remastered in 2021 and reissued in on Compact Disc “Kid Creole's music arrives wearing a Panama hat, smoking a Havana cigar, and carrying a battered old suitcase plastered with the names of exotic places. Out of this jamboree bag could come anything from James Brown to Cole Porter. Kid Creole is August Darnell and August Darnell is the tropical Dan Hicks. He mixes Broadway, swing, salsa, funk, soul-calypso and reggae in a gigantic melting pot, cooking up not a puree so much as a vegetable soup. You can taste the constituents, but the flavour is mixed." - Paul Rambali, 1981 Track List Going Places In The Jungle Animal Crackers I Stand Accused Latin Music Musica Americana I Am Schweinerei Gina, Gina With a Girl Like Mimi Table Manners Dear Addy
