Guess who?

GP just dug this one out: Mor Thiam presents Dini Safarrar (Drums of Fire) on Rite Record Productions. Awesome African spiritual jazz record featuring Lester Bowie on trumpet and Mr Thiam on vocals and diembe.

That’s Thiam’s son busting a groove on the marimba in the bottom right. He’s long since grown up and become one of the biggest hip hop stars in the world…

… AKON!

Havana Cultura – London Launch Party

Hosted by BBC Radio 1’s Gilles Peterson who will be spinning his favourite Cuban joints from past to present, the 9-piece Havana Cultura Band headline this Cuban extravaganza, ripping through an awesome selection of the album’s biggest tracks with vocals from Havana Cultura mainstays Ogguere and Danay who are flying in live and direct from Havana to maximise the Cuban party vibes.

Ogguere are the elder statesman of Cuban rap. Members Edrey and Ulises got together in the early 1990s, blending a mixture of Cuban rhythms – mambo, son and cha-cha-cha – with funk, rumba and rap to create their own inimitable hip hop hybrid.

A 24 year-old soul sister who has already drawn comparisons with the likes of Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, Danay eschews a gangster lean for a more conscious delivery, switching effortlessly between honeyed vocals and effortless rhyme flows. Born in Havana’s Cerro district, today she lives with her mother and sister in Santa Fe (on the fringes of the capital). Solo material is scarce but she has collaborated with Aldo – of Los Aldeanos – and Cuban fusion superstar X Alfonso.

DJ support comes from London’s Sofrito crew – Hugo Mendez, Frankie Francis and the mysterious Mighty Crime Minister. Renowned for their legendary Tropical Warehouse parties in London’s East End, Sofrito has brought together musicians and artists from Ghana, Nigeria, Cuba, Venezuela and Colombia to celebrate the heaviest sounds from across the Tropical spectrum. Your hips never had it so good!
