- about
- Kufu’s "Chili, This One is for You" celebrates the music of Trinidadian drummer and steel pan player Chili Charles. The album was recorded in the summer of 2003 in a house on Reservoir Street in Echo Park, California. We finished an initial mix the day before Chili left Los Angeles and moved to Hawaii’s Big Island. He died unexpectedly in 2005.
Two years later, I met Chili’s brother Raymond in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Raymond told me about playing the steel pan: “Every once in a while, I’ll take out my tenor pan and play a little music, and I always say, you know, ‘Chili, this one is for you.’” It’s a fitting title. Kufu wasn’t planned as a tribute to Chili, but that’s what it has become.
