Ralph Macdonald - The path

I first heard this song done by a crew called Concept Neuf, turned up as a tasty edit on a mean comp from Sofrito last year, called Sofrito International Soundclash.

Today I discovered the original is by Ralph Macdonald, off an album of the same name, from 1978. The album features Idris Muhammed, Miriam Makeba, and Grover Washington Jr among others. This is a slowed down edit.

And while we're on steel drum edits, here's my fave ever steel drum cover from the Esso Trinidad Steel Band, with the original vox mashed on top.
