Trama - Trama NEW CD Japan Import

Trama - Trama.\nThe Miami Sound: Original Soul/Funk/Disco Collection.\nOne of the funkiest albums on the legendary TK Records label \u2013 and that's saying a lot, given the strength of the imprint back in the 70s! This sole album by Trama is a stone cooker all the way through \u2013 done up in a heavy ensemble funk mode of the time, with some extra sharp bits around the edges \u2013 and a slight spiritual undercurrent too \u2013 almost a Soul Cal vibe at times! The guitars snake nicely around the keyboards, and Donna Allen's lead vocals really sparkle on some of the best numbers \u2013 widening the soulful appeal of the grooves, while the rest of the group still do their thing on instrumentation and backup vocals. Production is by Sax Kari, who's clearly going for a club vibe, but leaves nice rough bits around the edges \u2013 which gives the record a less polished feel than other TK disco records, and much more of an indie 12\"" sort of groove! Titles include \""Gimme .
