LAGRIMAS DE SOLEDAD (NO EXISTEN PALABRAS) VINCE VELLA REMIX A 12 MINUTE DOCUMENTARY FOREWORD When the opportunity to travel to Cuba and check out the new generation of Havana-based artists popped up in September 2008, I grabbed it with both hands. My initial exploratory trip with Yuset and Francois only lasted a few days, not even the weekend, but shifting quickly through 1950's Chevrolet gears we rifled through the city picking up sounds in every nook and cranny. Then, come the spring of '09, I was preparing for a 5-day Egrem Studios love-in. Vince Vella was my co-producer and Roberto Fonseca was my overall saviour and chief of operations with Orestes by his side conducting the desk. The band was Fonseca's and the groove was free. I had a few covers as starters: one from Fela to capture that true Afro-Cuban fusion; a Blue Note joint as a 70th anniversary gift; and a couple of Cuban faves from my Ballroom days - Irakere's Chekere Son and some Juan Pablo Torres. The rest was pretty much controlled jamming, picking up the Rumba boys from the bar below, or convincing Mayra Caridad Valdes to hit it freestyle. What a week we had in this iconic spot. I feel so blessed to have worked with these guys (folk who take their art very seriously, but always with a smile at the end of the session) and I'm so proud of the album that we made - 'Gilles Peterson presents Havana Cultura'. For me, it was just a natural progression to rework those live studio jams and take them to the club domain. For example I felt sure that Louie Vega would be able to elevate the Afro groove of Roforofo Fight to new heights and he did not disappoint me. Likewise Seiji who morphs Chekere Son into a thundering club banger and Michael Cleis who turns in a gloriously meandering and utterly epic four-on-the-floor workout of Rezando. A handful of veteran maestros - 4hero, Rainer Trueby, MJ Cole and Carl Cox - alongside the cream of the Cuban electronic scene - Wichy de Vedado and Edgaro from Doble Filo - makes for an intriguing blend of the traditional and the contemporary. I hope you enjoy the fruits of our labours. Gilles Peterson HAVANA CULTURA A window on contemporary Cuban culture, Havana Cultura exists to give the spirit of Havana a global voice. You don't have to search far in Havana to find evidence of creativity. But you have to search carefully. Listen for those few notes of Afro-Cuban jazz coming from a piano as you stroll along the Paseo del Prado; read the poem scribbled on a tiny piece of paper and left at an Orisha shrine. Artistic expression surges from every corner of the city, showing no sign of letting up. In Havana's art galleries and museums, its open-air markets, schools, abandoned factories and tiny studio flats, artists are showing what they do. Someone once remarked that all Cuban music is dance music, but that doesn't prepare you for the virtuosity of the musicians performing at these dance clubs or in just about any of Havana's cafes, concert halls, cabarets, or bodegas. Havana Cultura is proud to enable Havana's artists – from musicians to dancers, visual artists to writers – to showcase their work, energy and passion to the world. It's an international effort, originating in Havana and made possible by the ultimate icon of Havana: Havana Club rum. 'Gilles Peterson presents Havana Cultura: Remixed' is the second CD in a series established to celebrate Cuba's freshest musical talent, from Latin and Afro-jazz to hip hop, funk, reggaeton, pop and R&B. It features a string of superb remixes of the tracks recorded by Gilles Peterson's all-star Havana Cultura Band at the legendary Egrem Studios in Havana, plus an awesome bonus DJ mix by the man himself. Many of the Cuban artists who feature on the CD, including celebrated pianist Roberto Fonseca, are profiled through video interviews on www.havana-cultura.com As for the rest… stay tuned. ROBERTO FONSECA AND THE HAVANA CULTURA BAND A giant of the global jazz community, Roberto has shared the stage with Cuban legends such as Rubén González, Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo. He plays the piano with awe-inspiring sensitivity to the melody and rhythmic forces that marry the musical cultures of America, Brazil, Bulgaria, Arabia and Cuba, releasing his fifth solo album ‘Akokan’ in 2009. Working alongside Gilles, they brought together a handful of Cuba's finest musicians to bring their vision to life. The mighty Ramses Rodriguez on drums; Omar Gonzalez on bass; old school wizard Javier Zalba on flute and saxophone; the prodigious Yelfris Valdes on trumpet; and the legendary percussionist Yaroldy Abreu. Flourishing under the direction of Mssrs Fonseca, Peterson and virtuoso engineer Vince Vella, these celebrated musicians captured the essence of the Havana Cultura groove. Gigante de la comunidad jazzística mundial, Roberto ha compartido escenario con leyendas cubanas de la talla de Rubén González, Ibrahim Ferrer y Omara Portuondo. Toca el piano con una asombrosa sensibilidad hacia las fuerzas melódicas y rítmicas que logran el maridaje de las culturas musicales de América, Brasil, Bulgaria, Arabia y Cuba. El quinto álbum solista de Fonseca – Akokan – salió a la venta en 2009. Gilles y Roberto, corazón del proyecto Havana Cultura, reunieron a un puñado de los mejores músicos cubanos con el fin de dar vida a su concepción musical: el poderoso baterista Ramses Rodríguez; el bajista Omar González; el genio de la vieja escuela, Javier Zalba, como flautista y saxofonista; el prodigioso trompetista Yelfris Valdes, y el legendario percusionista Yaroldy Abreu. Todos ellos, bajo la dirección de Fonseca, de Peterson y del virtuoso ingeniero de sonido Vince Vella, lograron captar la esencia del ritmo de Havana Cultura. DANAY A 24-year-old soul sister who has drawn comparisons with the likes of Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, Danay eschews a gangster lean for a more conscious delivery with her honeyed vocals and effortless rhyme flows. Born in Havana’s Cerro district, today she lives with 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 popular Cuban fusion artist X Alfonso. Cantante soul de 24 años de edad, comparada por algunos con Erykah Badu o Jill Scott, Danay se aparta del estilo ‘gangster’ para llegar al público, de una forma más consciente, con sus letras melosas y el flujo sencillo de sus ritmos. Nacida en el barrio del Cerro de La Habana, en la actualidad reside con su madre y su hermana en Santa Fe (en la periferia de la capital). Aunque no se ha publicado mucho material suyo en solitario, cuenta con diversas colaboraciones con Aldo – de Los Aldeanos – y con el popular artista de fusión cubano X Alfonso. photo by Youri Lenquette OGGUERE Translated as “soul of the earth”, Ogguere are one of the hottest and most inventive hip hop bands in Cuba. Members Edrey and Ulises blend an original mixture of Cuban rhythms – mambo, son and cha-cha-cha – with funk, rumba and rap. They are most famous in Cuba for their smash hit ‘Como Esta el Yogurt?’ with the title of the song now immortalised in street culture as a commonly used phrase. Con un nombre que, traducido, quiere decir “alma de la tierra”, Ogguere es uno de los grupos de hip-hop más “calientes” y con mayor inventiva de Cuba. Sus integrantes Edrey y Ulises logran una original fusión de diversos ritmos cubanos – mambo, son y cha-cha-chá – con el funk, la rumba y el rap. En Cuba son muy famosos por su rotundo éxito ‘¿Cómo Está el Yogurt?’, título que la cultura callejera se ha encargado de inmortalizar, convirtiéndolo en una frase cotidiana. photo by Youri Lenquette WICHY DE VEDADO A pillar of Havana’s underground electronic music scene, Wichy’s musical journey began with imported American 80s pop. A group of German DJs visiting Havana opened his ears to acid house, inspiring him to experiment with his own homemade electronic loops, applying them to soundtracks for short features. Lately he has been working with jazz pianist Tony Rodriguez as D’Jazz, a global project blending DJing and live jazz music.

  • Benny Sings - City Pop 22 February 2019
    Benny Sings - City Pop 22 February 2019 “For more than 10 years, fans have been drawn to Dutch singer-songwriter Benny Sings' ability to layer R&B, jazz and pop over hip-hop foundations.” — NPR Music Benny Sings will release City Pop, his sixth album and first for Stones Throw in February 2019. With his signing to Stones Throw, he joins the label’s roster of artists — such as Jerry Paper and Mild High Club — in making music at the intersection of jazz, AOR, R&B and soul. On City Pop, he delivers real-life observations and insights on love, holding together soft rock-inspired songwriting and jazz instrumentation with his leading piano and distinctive vocal. The album was inspired by and written in cities all over the world, including New York, LA, Tokyo, Paris and Benny’s hometown of Amsterdam. Benny Sings debuted in 2003 with Champagne People. Since then he has performed for NPR’s Tiny Desk (their only Dutch guest to date); toured the world with Mayer Hawthorne, and collaborated with the likes of Anderson .Paak, GoldLink, and Mndsgn. In 2017 he co-wrote and featured on Rex Orange County’s megahit “Loving Is Easy”, a collaboration that arose from mutual admiration: "Benny has always been a massive inspiration for me and my music,” says the BBC Sound of 2018 breakout star, “In my opinion he’s one of the most underrated producers and artists going.” Like the 2015 album Studio, City Pop celebrates collaboration, with Hawthorne, Cornelius, Sukima switch (the “Japanese Steely Dan”), Mocky and Faberyayo among the featured artists.

  • Sibusile Epk001
    Part acoustic guitar visionary, part urban mythologist, Sibusile Xaba’s improvisational style hints at maskandi, while also shrinking the middle passage to connect jazz to its precolonial antecedents. KwaZulu-Natal-born guitarist and vocalist Sibusile Xaba has all the makings of an acoustic guitar master. With a vocal style that is part dreamscaping and part ancestral invocation, Xaba divines as opposed to plainly singing. Combined with a guitar style that is rooted in expressive picking, Xaba's music shatters the confines of genre, taking only the fundamentals from mentors such as Madala Kunene and Dr Philip Tabane and imbuing these with a mythology and improvisational intensity all of his own. His debut double album – ‘Unlearning’ & ‘Open Letter to Adoniah’ - was released internationally on 4 August 2017 to critical acclaim (see links to reviews below). 2017 saw Sibusile touring through various countries in Africa and Europe, where he performed at a number of prestigious music festivals (e.g. Shambala and Jazz ala Villette), music venues (e.g. Ronnie Scotts) and radio stations (e.g. Worldwide FM & Radio France). Sibusile will be touring extensively during the course of 2018 promoting his debut release. OPEN LETTER TO ADONIAH 'Open Letter to Adoniah' is an album reverent of life and its connectedness to a higher source. The music emanates from dreams revealed to Xaba over consecutive days and most of the album was recorded live in the mountains of Magaliesberg outside Johannes- burg in the winter of 2016. With percussionists Thabang Tabane and Dennis Moanganei Magagula, the trio coalesces both geographic and spiritual influences, hinting at Maskandi (a music style dominant in Xaba’s native KwaZulu-Natal) and the improvisational culture of South Africa's jazz avant garde.

    March 10, 2021 For Immediate Release Jordan Rakei Announces Late Night Tales Compilation, Out April 9th ​ ​ Listen to Rakei’s Exclusive Cover of Jeff Buckley’s “Lover, You Should've Come Over” (Photo Credit: Dan Medhurst) The artist-curated mix series, Late Night Tales, is pleased to announce its next compilation, ​ ​ this time curated by multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer Jordan Rakei, out April ​ ​ ​ 9th. For Rakei’s Late Night Tales, the first mix of the acclaimed series’ 20th year, the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 28-year-old modern soul icon effortlessly stamps his own jazz and hip-hop driven sound all over this gorgeous array of handpicked tracks. A beautifully layered blend that is mirrored in the music he’s made, it comes as no surprise that such a supremely gifted songwriter should deliver a mix that is all about the song. “I wanted to try and showcase as many people as I knew on this mix,” says Rakei. “My idea of ​ ​ ​ Late Night Tales was to distil a series of relaxing moments; the whole conceptual sonic of relaxation. So, I was trying to think of all the collaborators and friends that I knew, who’d recorded stuff with this horizontal vibe. Plus, I was also trying to help my friends' stuff get into the world. I know the story of Khruangbin blowing up after appearing on the series (in fact, I think that's how I discovered them). So, the main idea was to create a certain atmosphere, but also to help some of my favourite collaborators and buddies to give their songs a little push out into the world.

  • Emilie Chick
    EMILIE CHICK © STÉPHANE GINER. All rights reserved. PRESS KIT 2012 BIOGRAPHY "I love Emilie Chick… …but I can’t pin down her style..." © NASSIRA BELMEKKI. All rights reserved. It is hard to define Emilie Chick’s music: hip-hop, swing, electro, pop, soul? It’s as if choosing one genre would deprive her of all the others. While the quartet remains groovy, it ventures out into daring pop arrangements, on which Emilie’s voice navigates like the bad-girl, crooner, spoken word, jazz diva that she alternatively is. Gilles Peterson, the English musical pope, loved her so much he named her Winner and Revelation of his 2008 Worldwide Festival. In 2010 she released her 1st solo album, precisely mixing all her influences, very urban, and was awarded the « Best Album » Prize by the European Musical Press at the Europavox/Adami/Deezer de Talents competition in 2010. Since then, a variety of great producers have remixed her tracks. Currently adding the finishing touches to her next album, Emilie has settled in the South of France where she and her band were pre-selected for the 2012 edition of the famous emerging artists Festival “Printemps de Bourges”.
