Media Release MEDIA RELEASE 29 May 2015 Byron Bay duo create music history in the Caribbean Two Byron Bay musicians are headed for Cuba to create music history. Producer and keyboardist Jake Savona (aka Mista Savona), audio lecturer Eric Coelho and a small team of Australian musicians and filmmakers will record and document the world’s first-ever collaboration between Jamaican and Cuban musicians in Havana this June. Coelho, who teaches studio production and live sound at SAE Creative Media Institute in Byron Bay, said he was thrilled to be play a part in creating an outstanding and original album that showcased some of the most celebrated, talented and dynamic musicians in the world. “Despite the close proximity of Cuba and Jamaica, and being two of the world’s most influential musical nations, there’s been very little collaboration between these two islands,” Coelho said. “The project stems from our dream to create an incredible album that explores, develops and records new styles and sounds that have never been shared with international audiences – and to film every moment of it,” he said. Coelho will be assuming the roles of sound engineer and Spanish interpreter during the trip. He said the landmark project had secured the involvement of some of the world’s most influential artists, including: • Jamaican rhythm and production duo Sly and Robbie, who have produced and recorded with Gilberto Gil, Santana, Grace Jones, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Sinead O’Connor • Leroy Sibbles, described as the “greatest all-round talent in reggae history” • One of the most important Cuban percussionists of all time, Jose Luis Quintana (aka Changuito) • Jamaican hand-drummer, percussionist and singer Bongo Herman, who has recorded alongside Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff • Rising star Randy Valentine who has enjoyed international fame since collaborating with Major Lazer. In another world-first, the album will be sung in Spanish, English and Jamaican Patois. The artists will spend eight days composing and improvising at Havana’s famed Egrem studios during June. The album will be mixed and mastered in Australia. Coelho, who also works as a sound engineer with famed Australian music outfits such as the Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Bustamento and Wolfmother, said the project demonstrated the power of music to affect cultural and social change. “I’m really excited about sharing the outcomes of this project with students at SAE campuses in Australia and the United States,” he said. “It will be amazing for me to talk through our experiences with the students – to demonstrate all the production phases involved in bringing something like this to fruition, right down to how we mic up someone’s drum kit. “I’ll have footage and photographs that tell a story, from concept to completion and everything in between. “At SAE, we’re all about real-world, hands-on education. It doesn’t get more real than this.” Coelho, who will be playing guitar with Melbourne Ska Orchestra at the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival in June immediately following the Caribbean collaboration, said he planned to run workshops and master classes at the SAE Byron Bay campus on his return. He will also be guest lecturing at the SAE campuses in San Francisco and Los Angeles. “This is history in the making. It’s a story that needs to be recorded and shared.” Coelho and his peers are running a Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1424379793/havana-meets-kingston-the- album-and-documentary ENDS ------ENDS------ About SAE SAE Australia offers Higher Education and VET education opportunities to more than 2,500 students, including certificate, diploma and degrees across the following major fields of study; audio production, film production, games design, games programming, animation, web and graphic design.

  • HMK Beat Con Flow PR
    PRESS RELEASE THE HAVANA MEETS KINGSTON PROJECT RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE “BEAT CON FLOW” FEATURING CUBAN STAR CIMAFUNK The Havana Meets Kingston project brings together top musicians from Cuba and Jamaica. Mista Savona Presents Havana Meets Kingston Part 2, the follow up to the acclaimed 2017 debut album, will be released by Cumbancha in 2021. The new single and video for “Beat Con Flow” featuring Cimafunk will be released worldwide on November 6. ……………………………………………………………………………………….. “Nothing Short of Explosive” – The Times (UK) / “It. Was. Amazing.” – BBC on HMK’s 2018 Royal Albert Hall performance PREVIEW THE “BEAT CON FLOW” MUSIC VIDEO On November 6, Cumbancha will release the single “Beat Con Flow” featuring Cimafunk, one of the hottest young talents to emerge from Cuba in recent years. “Beat Con Flow” is from the upcoming album Mista Savona Presents Havana Meets Kingston Part 2, which will be released in 2021 by Baco Records in Europe, ABC Music in Australia and New Zealand and Cumbancha in the US, Canada, Latin America and the rest of the world. While connected by common African roots and colonial histories, the music of Cuba and Jamaica have traveled largely in separate lanes. Their influence on the music of the world has been immeasurable, but their influence on each other has been less evident. It took an Australian to bring these two rich musical cultures together. Melbourne-based producer and musician Jake Savona had already fallen in love with the music of Jamaica, having released a string of successful reggae and dub albums under his stage name Mista Savona.
