Just under an hour of warm weather tunes from around the world. A mix of calypso and various African musical styles with a few dashes of "other" for good measure. I apologize to the ladies for the Roaring Lion and the Lord Beginner/Atilla the Hun tracks but I swear they're real hipshakers! The title of this mix comes from a zydeco song by the Segura Brothers that ended up not working with the rest of the mix but that is still well worth a listen on it's own.

Stir up a Pimm's Cup and drag some speakers outside. It's getting hot out there.
