NEIGHBORING FUSION By Alexandra Simon

It’s a bilingual Caribbean music fusion.

The musical styles of Jamaica and Cuba come alive in “Havana Meets Kingston,” the first ever full compilation album combining the sounds and rhythms of these two island nations. The creator — Australian dancehall deejay Mista Savona, was inspired to assemble a project after a 2013 trip to Cuba and hearing sounds that peaked his curiosity. That experience would light a bulb.

“I was sitting in a cafe in Havana and they were playing rumba music that was mainly percussion based, and I was daydreaming and imagining how the sounds of Nyabinghi drums from Jamaica would sound mixed with the rumba,” said Savona. “I realized straight away this was a special idea, and wondered if it had ever been done before.”

Upon returning back to Australia, the idea stuck with Savona and he began some research and concluded that a cross-cultural recording between the two nations did not exist. He eventually found his way back to Jamaica, recruiting some legendary Jamaican artists such as Sly and Robbie, Bongo Herman, and few more, to travel to Cuba with him for a week and a half to get started.

    Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
    Nevertheless imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"!

    Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this
    blog could undeniably be one of the greatest in its niche. Good blog!

    Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my
    4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear
    and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this
    is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    You really make it appear really easy along with your presentation but I in finding this topic to
    be actually something that I think I would by no means understand.
    It sort of feels too complicated and very large for me.

    I'm looking ahead to your subsequent put up, I will attempt to get the hold of
    it!

    Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off
    the screen in Firefox. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know.

    The design look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Thanks

    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is
    required to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost
    a pretty penny? I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% certain. Any
    tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

    A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I believe that
    you should write more about this subject matter, it may
    not be a taboo matter but generally people do not speak about such subjects.

    To the next! Many thanks!!
