"Bellamina" - Tuba Skinny

A Bahamian song about prohibition rum runners the band got from The Nassau String Band. At The Maison, Sept. 29, 2022.

It is impossible not to get up and dance to this and join in the song too!

At 1.54 Craig over-runs his slot by just two notes and Shaye says "What" then breaks out her beautiful giggley smile. Sheer genius how the gentlest guidence is given to Craig and how the team is happy without exception to give of their best.

Bellamina, oh yes. It often creeps in somewhere under my skull and then I can't stop humming.

Brilliant as usual

[@saullouis]

I was at two of their performances in upstate New York this summer. I should have gotten in the car and and gone to two other performances but too much driving for me. This band never disappoints.

This is a stylized Calypso interiorized by a grand group of fun players.

Just plain great fun!

Many thanks James for filming and sharing this video here I can't get enough of Belamina. It is the first tune on my favourite album " Nigel's Dream". The thumbnail looks awesome too. It is from Andernos 2019, when Tuba Skinny toured through France during summer. A very hot summer. Best wishes to you Dave from Berlin Germany 👋

I thought the floppy hat fit with the Bahamian theme.

Guten Abend !! Guten Morgen here. All the best, Doug C from South Korea 🔅

I didn't know this was from the Bahamas until I read Jame's note just a few moments ago. However, I think I could have guessed from the sound. They really have soup this up in a way that I'm not heard them play it before. This is wild and wooly and yet it is controlled chaos. It sounds like it's going in six directions at once but the song is controlled. Got to love it.

[@chrisdavis234]

Wow, things went a little further out on a limb than normal towards the end there 😄

Linda música 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@BudgieJane]

Looks like Craig is half-asleep while he is accompanying Greg, until Shaye says something to him and he suddenly wakes up and gives his solo all he's got. I think the band has been working on this song recently, because I haven't heard them play it as well as this before.

[@anodyne57]

Isn't looking "half-asleep" Craig's secret weapon? The easier for him to sneak up on you when it's his turn.

And What IS The Maison???!??!?!
