HAVANA MEETS KINGSTON IN DUB

A companion album to the critically acclaimed 'Havana Meets Kingston', this is Gaudi and Mista Savona's dub take on Savona's original sessions in Cuba and Jamaica. Recorded at Egrem Studios in Havana (where Buena Vista Social Club recorded their famous album) and Tuff Gong Studio in Kingston (Bob Marley's studio in Jamaica), this is a world first project bringing music together from both islands. It's a sound-combination that meshes their distinct musical pathways, effortlessly blending Cuban percussion and melodies with reggae's rumbling basslines and roots rhythms, expertly dubbed by Gaudi at his Metatron Studio in London UK, with overdubs and additional mixes from Savona at various studios around the world.

This ambitious project features a lineup of incredible Jamaican and Cuban talent, including reggae stars Sly & Robbie on drum and bass, Ernest Ranglin and Winston 'Bopee' Bowen on guitars, percussion by Bongo Herman and Shaun 'Bugzy' Anderson, and vocals from Jamaican stars such as Cornel Campbell, Prince Alla, Lutan Fyah, Leroy Sibbles (The Heptones), Cali P, Aza Lineage & Randy Valentine to name just a few. On the Cuban side the album features Rolando Luna (piano) and Barbarito Toress (laud) of Buena Vista Social Club fame, percussionist Changuito of Los Van Van, Yaroldy Abreu & Julito Padron of Irakere, Oliver Valdes from Havana Cultura, and vocalists include Brenda Navarrete, Maikel Ante, Solis, and Eugenio Rodri​́​guez 'El Raspa' - in fact there are over 30 Cuban musicians featured on the album.

It was during Savona's first visit to Cuba that he could imagine the sounds of Cuban Rumba mixed with Jamaican Nyabinghi (the folkloric styles unique to each island), and with this unique musical vision he embarked on this wonderful music project!

Gaudi and Savona are not new to each other, having already worked on a number of reggae projects together in the past, including a remix for Savona's album with SIzzla, as well as a dub for the brilliant single 'Carnival' featuring Randy Valentine & Solis.

Both individual credientials are nothing short of astonishing for these two fearless producers, with Gaudi's chart-topping works for Steel Pulse, Horace Andy, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Mad Professor, Johnny Clarke, Hollie Cook, Dub FX, Mykal Rose, Barrington Levy, Maxi Priest, Max Romeo, Don Letts, Desmond Dekker, African Head Charge, and Dennis Bovell among many others. And Mista Savona has worked with a host of Jamaican legends including Alton Ellis, Anthony B, Sizzla, Capleton, Burro Banton, Horace Andy, Sly & Robbie, Big Youth, Clinton Fearon, Turbulence and many, many more.

This dub masterpiece is both an essential companion album to Havana Meets Kingston, as well as being a powerful album in it's own right.
