Charlie & the Tropicales bring a 1950's Caribbean hotel party to life with torrid horns, tropical rhythms and infectious grooves. With a nod to New Orleans' history as the northernmost port of the Caribbean, the Tropicales perform music from Trinidad and Venezuela, Martinique and Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Cuba, and other destinations along the archipelago. Scorching tropicalia, and classic New Orleans jams. Biguines and boleros, calypsos and cumbias, rocksteady and rumba - songs that get stuck in your head. It's music that's guaranteed to melt the ice in your drink.
All of that to say, the Tropicales' new LP New Orleans '26 makes a defiant statement: New Orleans music is Caribbean music.
And who better to say it? This is a band that's kept an incredibly busy schedule in New Orleans since 2024, establishing themselves as one of the city's most exciting young bands - performing regularly at Snug Harbor, Tipitina's, the Broadside, Saturn Bar, Vaughans, and BJs Lounge, not to mention the Jazz and Heritage Center, Jazz Fest, parties at the Four Seasons and hotels all over town. Their last tour included marquee stops in Key West, New York City, New Haven, Cape Cod, Asbury Park, the Exit Zero Jazz Festival and of course… New Orleans.
New Orleans '26 expands the band, too, bringing in guests like Latin Grammy winner Mireya Ramos, Grammy winner Jon Cleary, Tiny Desk sensation Sally Baby Geloso and celebrated dub engineer Roger Rivas for a little treat to close out the record. It delivers the same musicality and vibe that's packed clubs since 2018.
If you feel like taking a trip, join some of the most celebrated musicians in the Crescent City and daiquiri, turn up your soundsystem, hit the dance floor, and join this subtropical party. New Orleans '26 redefines the music of this essential global city by taking back to where it came from: the Caribbean.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
