You don't have to travel halfway around the world to find top-class Brazilian and Caribbean grooves; some of the finest bossa nova, samba, mambo and calypso recordings were made in sunny Italy, still perfect for dancing and lounging today. From the legendary Italian soundtrack archive of CAM Sugar comes a compilation that as it has never been heard before: “Tropicale”, tropical rhythms and irresistible catchy tunes from films of Italian cinema’s golden era, composed by masters such as Ennio Morricone, Piero Piccioni, Bruno Nicolai, Armando Trovajoli and many others. 26 remastered tracks, 8 of which are previously unreleased, 2LP in an elegantly designed gatefold sleeve.
