Here comes one of the most exclusive and sought-after recordings of a hotel band from the Caribbean Antilles. The resident and highly talented soul singer Lloyd Baptiste played there during the 70s with his group "The Joys" in the popular hotel called Divi Divi on the then Dutch island of Aruba.

The finest soul, funk and disco filled the repertoire of this outstanding formation. This led to the hotel management sending them to the Pyramid Sound Studio, New York in 1976 for advertising purposes and as a figurehead for an album production. The resulting "hotel record" is now a sought-after holy grail. The two strongest and most essential titles have now been released for you by Sound Essence Records in cooperation with Lloyd Baptiste himself and Deliomar Laclé from Aruba. Enjoy listening!
