Wadadli Riders – “Made In Antigua” – [Green Cookie Records]

Lorenzo & Nicoletta Valdambrini moved to the Caribbean Island of Antigua a few years ago from Italy and claim that the Wadadli Riders is the first and only surf band ever to originate from the Caribbean. Rich, warm, high energy authentic surf sounds with a difference – is it an Italian or tropical influence? No matter, this very well produced 12″ vinyl sounds better every time I hear it.

Fun facts: Wadadli is an old name for Antigua. Lorenzo produces the very popular Surfer Joe surf music festival in Italy. Are only beautiful women allowed to play bass in surf bands?
