Various Artists - School House Rock, Vol. 2: School Is Out! - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Until recently, the richness and vibrancy of Toronto's Latin scene was enjoyed almost exclusively by the city's dancers, musicians and world music fans. But as Lula Lounge celebrates it's tenth anniversary, local artists are ready to burst onto the international stage. Toronto's unique brand of multiculturalism combined with the immense experi- ence and the sheer talent of the musicians have contributed to the Toronto salsa scene evolving into one of the most electrifying and vital anywhere. Waves of immigration to Canada from the Caribbean and Latin America have brought corresponding swells in salsa music production. From the pioneers of the Toronto Latin music revolution Jane Bunnett, Luis Mario Ochoa and Hilario Duran, to artists such as Caché and Luisito Orbegoso, to today's most popular musical visionaries Telmary, Yani Borrell, Jorge Maza, Roberto Linares Brown and Latin Grammy-winner Alex Cuba (formerly of the Puentes Brothers), this CD brings together dancers' favourites with rare tracks to provide a snapshot of a city making musical history. Live music venue Lula Lounge and it's presenting partner Lula Music and Arts Centre is dedicated to supporting salsa and Latin jazz as well as Brazilian, African and all kinds of world music. A rarity in North America, with a decade-long history of presenting ten to twelve piece ensembles every week of the year, Lula Lounge has become salsa's home in Canada. Fostering new and established groups, Lula.

2024 collection. Bear Family Records® explores an important stage of life that we have all gone through School! -34 Songs on this first edition describe what went on at school, the having to go, class tests, teachers - but also the exciting sides, pranks, school parties, romances, love and pain. -The CD provides the soundtrack for our personal journey through time, garage rockabilly like Boppin' High School Baby, Frankie Lymon's Waiting in School, John D. Loudermilk's tearjerker Yearbook, Frankie Avalon's Teacher's Pet or rockabilly bangers like High School Lover, and so on and so forth. -In his humorous liner notes, head teacher Roland Heinrich Rumtreiber makes sure that nothing unseemly happens... despite the rock'n'roll. -Fine re-mastering and plenty of illustrations in the booklet round off part 1 of the school project School is in - at last! 'I worked and slaved the summer through, doing the things my papa told me to...' Gary U.S. Bonds nails it. But wait a minute... why be glad? Nagging teachers, getting up early, tedious studying, stuffing your head with stuff you won't be needing on Lovers Lane? But then, you will be seeing that cutie again, the one that made eyes at you at the bake sale last May. You can sleep longer, talk jive talk with the other cats and kittens, play pranks, be in-the-know of where to be and where to go! Sounds like fun, after all. Bear Family Records® honors that most important timespan in all our lives by collecting 2 volumes of songs about high school, starting with 'School House Rock, Vol. 1 - School Is In!'. And what a fine collection it is - surpassing the obvious shooba-dooba of mentally-sentimantely deranged harmony groups, snarly-lipped teenage wonderboys, and other '50s cliches. Don Willis's deranged echo dripping garage rockabilly romp Boppin' High School Baby rocks side by side with the big city R & B jump of Frankie Lymon's W
