Album: Banzani-! by Donovan (1989)
Genre: Folk | Mood: Good Natured
Format: Album

Description: "Banzani-!" Impeccably produced by Jack Ruby,is a simmering blend of roots, rockers, and dancehall, powered by Sly & Robbie's powerful rhythms. Released in 1989, the album was perhaps just a tad too early to take advantage of the re- emergence of culture in the dancehall scene, and Donovan never gained the recognition that he so richly deserved. 

Artist Background: Donovan (born Donovan Phillips Leitch, 10 May 1946) is a Scottish singer, songwriter and guitarist. Initially labelled as an imitator of Bob Dylan, he developed an eclectic and distinctive style that blended folk, jazz, pop, psychedelia, and world music (notably calypso).

Emerging from the British folk scene, Donovan shot to fame in the United Kingdom in ear... Part of the Glasgow, Scotland, UK music scene. Emerged in the 1960s era. Associated with Folk movement.
