IKO-IKO’s
sound developed out of this very unique environment.
A world audience open to originality and American
music. Roots and Blues music mixed with island
grooves, latin percussion and Voodoo drums.Tobacco
Road began bringing touring Blues Bands to Miami
and IKO-IKO was there trading sets on two stages,
all night long, forty five on- forty five off,
with just about every major and minor Blues, Zydeco,
and Roots band in America. Albert King, Albert
Collins, Koko Taylor, Sun Ra, David Bromberg,
John Hammond, an eleven year old Derick Trucks,
Diamond Teeth Mary McClain, The Nighthawks, The
Fabulous Thunderbirds, Dr. John, John Lee Hooker,
the list goes on and on. |
