Pama International - Happenstance

Happenstance means an uncanny coincidence or unexpected event and Pama International’s new single is certainly a welcome surprise. The boys have put their light-hearted two tone aspects to one side and created a back to basics minor key funk-reggae scorcher. It’s an unusually hard hitting number with an extended horns breakdown that goes on so long you might think the vinyl is skipping! But fun and jokes aside, this is one of the best singles they’ve ever made. Highly recommended.
