Big Crown Vaults Vol. 4 (Ocean Blue Smoke Vinyl)

Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, the mysterious steel pan outfit hailing from Hamburg, Germany made significant noise in 2024 when French film Anatomy of a Fall won an Academy Award for best original screenplay. Bacao's cover of 50 Cent's "PIMP" was featured so heavily in the film and plays such a huge role in the storyline that it became synonymous with it's success. Subsequently, they ushered in the first appearance of steel pans in the orchestra pit at the Academy Awards so they could play the tune as director Justine Triet walked on stage to accept the award. All of this brought a lot of new fans to Bacao and pushed the streaming numbers of "PIMP" well past 40 million. For those in the know, this tune made it's way into underground fame back in 2008 when it was first pressed on band leader Bjorn Wagner's own Mocambo imprint and was often mistaken for the original sample source from which 50 made his hit.
