New Orleans music mixed with colourful funk, disco, hypnotic voodoo, Latin and African rhythms are the usual kinds of music you have found in last years in Cyril Neville’s songs Over the years, Cyril has belonged to bands like The Neville Brothers or Royal Southern Brotherhood, besides playing with countless names of American roots musicians Louisiana Red Hot Records proudly announces a collection of five retrospective albums with the work of this amazing artist This is the first volume entitled The Essential Recordings that gathers eleven songs which will allow listeners to rediscover some of the best tracks recorded by this unclassifiable singer, drummer and percussion player called Cyril Neville This is an album with a wide variety of styles and proposals to please both people not familiar with these musical styles and the good fans of wrapping rhythms and melodies This is a great opportunity to enjoy the rich varied range of influences gathered in this first volume which I hope will have the continuity reported by the record company
