Here is a noteworthy performance of Herbie Hancock’s iconic Cantaloupe Island by eight musicians representing Panama, USA, Canada, Netherlands and Kenya. The horn playing is remarkable (Carlos Ubarte, Jon Day, Saskia Laroo), followed by an electrifying keyboard solo (Warren Byrd), great guitar breakouts (Edgar Vargas, Maarten Bakker) and some inspired drumming (Willem Smid, Amadou Seck).
