Dalton (2)

Tunisian band Dalton, a quintet who formed around 1968 when most of the members studied together at the University of Tunis. Active on the local scene, they played music that was heavily influenced by American soul and funk, mixed with regional musical traditions. In the early ’70s, the band got a regular gig at a beach hotel called Sahara Beach Resort on the coastline of Tunisia. With the money they earned, they traveled to Rome and cut their sole 7-inch, “Alech” b/w “Soul Brother.”
