Panamanian Soul emerged during a turbulent time in the country’s history—the 1960s and early 1970s. During the construction of the Panama Canal between 1904 and 1914, Afro-Caribbean laborers were brought in from British colonies such as Jamaica and Barbados. After the Canal was completed, these workers and their descendants faced exclusion and racism within Panamanian society. By the 1960s, the global wave of civil rights movements had not gone unnoticed. Many Panamanians were exposed to the U.S. Black freedom struggle through contact with American G.I.s stationed at U.S. military bases. The voices of Marvin Gaye, James Brown, and Otis Redding, broadcast over Army Radio, also left a lasting impression. Inspired by this cultural exchange, many descendants of the canal laborers began forging their own unique Soul sound.

Flied Egg

Flied Egg

Flied Egg has been played on NTS in shows including Merzbow, featured first on 20 May 2022. Songs played include Oke-Kus.

Flied Egg was a rock band from Japan, founded in 1972. In their short lifespan they released two albums: "Dr. Siegel’s Fried Egg Shooting Machine" (Vertigo, 1972) and "Good Bye" (Vertigo, 1972). The debut featured a mix of accessible psych-pop-prog, hard-riffing heavy rock (with some moves directly lifted from early Uriah Heep), and early progressive tendencies. The last album was mostly live (from their farewell concert, apparently) and leaned more towards their heavy rock side, notably influenced by Grand Funk circa "Live Album" and numerous Black Sabbath-meets-Mountain wannabes, and including a couple of old Strawberry Path songs. The studio material was in a similar vein to the range of styles on their first album. Drummer Hiro Tsunoda had previously been in The Jacks, Foodbrain and Strawberry Path, and was also in Sadistic Mika Band at some point. Bassist Masayoshi Takanaka had previously been in Brush.
