I visited Adrian the other month, and they popped in the studio for an hour to do something with this. Adrian had sent Gary a mix but Gary had emailed to say he wanted some guitar section restoring that had been mixed out. It took them quite some time to work out what section he meant, going back through previous saved sessions. I think it was the bit with the spaced out guitar at about 3 mins.
Adrian's friend Julia was teaching us how to pronounce the title properly, and explaining to us how it was a rhumba variant ...

It looks like this track might be included on the forthcoming "The Essential Gary Lucas" double CD release scheduled for the end of the year according to Amazon UK. There's no track listing on the CD page yet, but it's mentioned on the MP3 entry, track 35. Hopefully all 36 tracks are on the CD release too. The description below implies that they are. Here's the blurb from Amazon US which has a different release date of September 11th: "36 tracks spanning 40 years of groundbreaking and provocative music, released through NYC's legendary Knitting Factory Records. The first CD is devoted to songs recorded with Lucas' psychedelic jazz-rock band Gods and Monsters, and the second CD is devoted to solo works, rarities and collaborations. Drawing on a wealth of material including rare and never-before released tracks, the double album offers ample evidence of Gary's trailblazing and unique career, going back to his earliest appearances on record and stage with Captain Beefheart (Don Van Vliet) in the early 80's, to his groundbreaking work with the amazing Jeff Buckley (Gary co-wrote and played on Jeff's anthems 'Grace' and 'Mojo Pin'), through his extensive cross-genre legacy of 30-plus albums. Special guests include Jeff Buckley, Alan Vega (Suicide), David Johansen (NY Dolls), Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads), Ernie Brooks (Modern Lovers), Billy Ficca (Television), Nona Hendryx (Labelle), Chinese star Feifei Yang, French diva Elli Medeiros, avant-legend Mary Margaret O'Hara, Cuba's #1 dance band Los Van Van, UK dub-master Adrian Sherwood, singer Rolo McGinty (The Woodentops) and others." |

I have a Gods And Monsters CD which I remember liking when I played it, but this was years ago - spose I should dig it out and try it again... |

"The Essential Gary Lucas" double CD release arrived from Amazon this morning and I can confirm that it does contain the Sherwood produced "Guanguanco" track on the second CD. Here's the blurb from the booklet:
Guanguanco (Lucas/Bandola/Joyce) - recorded at Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound Castle Ramsgate UK 2019
One of my first appearances on wax post-Beefheart was on mixologist extraordinaire Adrian Sherwood's "Dream World", from the Singers and Players album "Vacuum Pumping" in 1986. Adrian was an old friend and I helped get some of his work out in the US on the NYC-based indie label Logarhythm. Recently he asked me to lay down some psychedelic electric guitar on various tracks he was dubbing up, and this one came out particularly well - with the drum and bass rhythms courtesy of his mates Mark Bandola and Chris Joyce.

Ooh - didn't know it was Chris Joyce - another blast from the past I'd thought Logarhythm was actually Gary Lucas' label, but I'm not sure how that piece of info came to be lodged in my brain and it could well be wrong  |
