From the forthcoming album 'Havana Meets Kingston - Part 2', this stunning version of Lagrimas Negras features legendary Cuban singer Beatriz Márquez (considered one of the very greats alongside Omara Portuondo), together with some of Jamaica and Cuba's most accomplished musicians - including drummer Sly Dunbar and members of Irakere, Los Van Van and The Buena Vista Social Club.
'Havana Meets Kingston' is a world-first project uniting the music and culture of the two islands:

This exclusive video footage shows Cuba's capital city in a very different light, captured during the various lockdowns and curfews of 2020 and 2021. Normally Havana is filled with music, excitement, people and all kinds of busy activity on the streets. Lockdowns of course present a very different picture. We hope that very soon Havana will be filled with music and joy once again.
