Although the two islands of Jamaica and Cuba are only miles apart, there has never been a recording project that truly fuses the music of the two islands together - until now. HAVANA MEETS KINGSTON is a world first album due for release in mid 2017. The project began in 2015 when Australian producer Mista Savona teamed up with Sly & Robbie, Bongo Herman, 'Bopee' Anderson and other legendary Jamaican musicians and personally flew them to Havana to work with members of the Buena Vista Social Club, Los Van Van, Havana Cultura & more. Alongside these highly experienced musicians Savona also scouted for young & up-and-coming artists from both countries, and it's this fusion of age, experience, culture and musical styles that makes this project so exceptional. The joy in the studio and the sheer skill of the musicians involved has resulted in something truly unique and extraordinary. Recorded at the famous Egrem Studios in Havana, the project is called HAVANA MEETS KINGSTON and will be released in two parts - album #1 in 2017, with album #2 and a feature documentary following in 2018. Our first introductory video has already gone viral! Watch here:   / 1047104088752100   ) The first single to be unleashed from this amazing project is ‘Carnival', featuring Jamaican born vocalist Randy Valentine and Cuban singer Solis. It is a triumphant anthem and a song that speaks of the transformative power of music & dance. With its hypnotic rolling basslines, deep roots reggae feel and strong Afro-Cuban influence 'Carnival' is a song that may well open a new chapter in the history of Caribbean music. Sung in both English and Spanish, it switches effortlessly between the sounds and languages of the two islands and yet somehow feels completely natural and catchy - despite the very different rhythms and traditions of Cuban and Jamaican music. ‘Carnival’ is bursting with energy and originality and offers a great insight into the full length album – in which the magic of cross cultural collaboration can be clearly heard, felt & seen. LYRICS (English & Spanish) Welcome to Havana town Cuba and Jamaica link up people gather around Mr DJ turn up the sound Yo Solis tell me how it sound! CHORUS Quiero bailar, reir gozar en la orilla del mar (x2) Hacer un carnaval La tristeza borrar Volver a comenzar Bajo las estrellas Un nuevo dia [translation: I want to dance , laugh & enjoy on the seashore. Make a carnival Clear the sadness Begin again Under the stars A brand new day] VERSE 1 Oh Lord! Eyes closed picture this: Kingston meets Havana Solis, Randy Valentine and Jake Savona I take you pon a journey mixing music like the drink them call Cubana, Mixing Cuban percussions and thoughts from Ghana Free up yourself, do what you wanna Roll it up, light it up, smoke your marijuana When you there pon the corner Nobody will bring no kind of drama Today you need no ammo or no armour I got to walk straight on this rocky road Positive attitude whenever I'm on the move Mi no want to tell you what to do But them say if you show love then it comes back to you So let the reggae music play on the beach tonight Give me a signal if you feel the vibe Give me a light, look alive Reggae music in Havana everything is nice CHORUS VERSE 2 Eyes closed I can feel the vibrations Many think that I'm asleep But when I speak let my lyrics take you to the highest peak And when you reach, don't you dare take a seat Just take the love that you receive and put it on repeat And we can all gather at the sea Like one big family, let's make some memories And if I want to break away I go to Santiago yes that is the sweetest place Me and a Havana girl have a discussion She's telling me she love percussions And I say "what's your name?" she says "Sahida" I say "Sahida link me for the fire I am the supplier" And I'll be right there when you need me If you can hear me my lady Give me a light, come alive Reggae music reach Havana everything is nice!
