Havana Cultura


Shhhhhhhheeeeeeeit... Missed da last gig in Paris wid Gilles & the band, had 2 play wid the Sofrito crew here in LDN but still, Leeds & Manchester were brillant, all da people enjoyed the live cuban band (put 2gether last minute by Vince Vella & feat. Ogguere & da amazing Danay on vocal duties) and every1 stayed while we were droppin some funky joints in da clubs... The London nite was pretty horrible soundwise and most of the people were from the industry so not da craziest vibe hahaha but hey,
thats what u get in da capital when u do album release parties i guess... And the band still delivered despite the technical difficulties (its hard 2 have a good sound in a space that has very high ceilings wid only 2 speakers right ??? wasnt da right venue). I heard Paris was a smash. We still had time 2 record 2 songs in my studio wid Danay & Ogguere, i reckon i'll dfntly put one on my nxt (nearly complete) album, already tested it out and works da dancefloor a treat... Danay's got da swing !!! :-)
Check da album its out now, some really good joints on it & its a double cd.

As a little treat this week here's the UNRELEASED remix i did for da last Jose James single 'Black Magic'.
Turn da lights off when u drop dis one on da system ;-)

Loads of lovely ladies & everyone smilin' under their masks/make up/false teeth/wigs hahahaha supa funny characters in da place 4 real ...
I really love da vibe in Frisco, so dffrnt from any other city & still that Cali touch . Unique. Sad 2 see so many homeless people in da streets tho, that shhh breaks my heart ... Managed to catch up wid my Oakland fam da nxt day (just accross the bridge) & ended up cookin some crepes @ Cali & Amy's place (coz they have da riiiiiiight kitchen 4 cookin !!!!) , was really supa nice 2 see all of you, Cecil, Aybee & Brenna, Cali & Amy (hav fun in Southport!!) thnx 4 da good vibes, big up Carolyn , Tommy Bones from NY who was in town as well (nice set i caught him playin @ The End Up, anotha mythic club in SF), Jayvi, Hakobo & Marky (good luck wid your nu club !) and all my Brooklyn fam, OP , Jay Locke (dont worry) & Ian Rock, Busquelo Nat & Zarah & the girls, Nickodemus, Aaron, Amon, Chris Annibell, Pierre & Carmella @ Grand Dakar, Andrea & Lydia, Cracka Dawn & my bro Suga K'aan who was in town too ...
