Look-Ka Py Py b/w Ease Back 

There are lots of Steel Funk recordings by huge orchestras from Trinidad and other Caribbean islands.  The Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band instead combines an incredibly funky guitar-bass-drums-percussion rhythm section with a small line of pans (or steel drums). The 45 opens with a killer breakbeat that leads into an awesome rendition of the Meters standard (the title track of their second Josie album) with the themes being played in the street carnival sound of the West Indies, to “ease back” just a little on the flip side.
But where is the island of Bacao? What kind of mystery band is this? You work it out!
