Looking for some good "Island" music

[r3db4r0n]

I listen to allot of different stuff and occasionally listen to reggae but I'm looking for something a little different that still has that tropical island flavor, any suggestions?

probably not exactly what you're looking for, but if you want some "isom" tropical music, find the buena vista social club.

Dancehall, bossa nova and tropicália (though Brazil's not a tropical island)....

 

[Ed Monton]

How about calypso?

 

[blooz4u]

Dave Matthews ??:scratchhe

I think you're on the right track with Buena Vista Social Club !!

Bob Marley? He's got the tropical feel

These may bee way off from what you are looking for, but an older band is the Melodians, which is older reggae, or you could check out Matis Yahu, Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, or the Mighty Mighty Bosstones..... Hope these help....

Buena Vista is classic. Get the album of the lot of them playing Carnegie Hall.

Forget Dave and Jimmy. Look into the following:

1) Dennis Wilson- Pacific Ocean Blue
2) Rodriguez- Cold Fact
3) Vampire Weekend- Contra

Jimmy Buffet

Thanks for the continued support guys!

Also the tip on the boss tones was fantastic and Matis Yahu is pretty good

Try Toots and the Maytals.
Burning Spear
Peter Tosh

Get free Pandora account and you can make your own "stations". I listen to Habana All Stars, Habana Libre, Tito Puente, Salsa Caliente, that kind of stuff. You can tailor it to fit your tastes.
