Today I’m starting with a reissue of music originally released in 2001. It’s about the trio Chocolate Barry, whose album “Cucumber Trees and Ice Cold Lemonade” now is available for streaming and downloading. The band, hailing from Malmö, consisted of the two brothers John and Chocolate Barry and also Marco Manieri. The contagious song “I Cry Because of You Argentina”, here below, was played quite a bit back then, but isn’t entirely representative for the album, which is a unique blend of sixties’ nostalgia, electronica, disco, pop and psychadelia with both vocal and instrumental tracks. I could imagine this as a movie soundtrack; maybe then a movie about Chocolate Barry himself.
