Lars Hansson

About Me

Vocalist, guitarist and composer in Soca Rebels which I founded in 1990.
Also doing the same plus playing steelpans in the band Big Lime.

This space will feature other music I write. The music have influences from Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, Jazz, Rock, Funk and Blues.

I play all instruments except drums which are programmed or loops. I do all the recording at home so the tunes are demos of my musical ideas.

Kingston Struttin, Buccoo Reef and The Girl From Mo'Bay are mixed by Björn Hansson.

Live with Shirlane Hendrickson, Calypso Queen of TnT 98-01
