As many of you already know, Jay-Z and Beyonce caused a a mild furore in the US recently by visiting Cuba to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. It's claimed by the couple that their trip to Havana was fully licensed and authorised by the US Treasury department - and to follow that up and set things straight, Jay-Z has today uploaded a track called, Open Letter where he addresses the media storm and clears things up (in fine style). [...]
Jay-Z doesn't like that the trip he and Beyonce took down to Cuba was investigated by the government. So... he rapped about it. Maybe he and Barrack got in a fight. Who knows... Jay-Z also mentions selling his share of the Brooklyn Nets in the song, if that's something that interests you. Enjoy.
While many of us would like to know about Beyonce and Jay Z's rendezvous in Cuba- were not the only ones. It seems that two Republican Congress members also want to know more about the powercouple's vacation. According to Reuters , U.S. Florida district representatives, Ileana Ros- Lehtinen and Mario Diaz Balart, are investigating the nature of the couple's visit to Cuba, due to U.S. restrictions on tourism in Cuba. However, there are some exceptions in the U.S. and Cuba tourism restrictions: licenses are available to those with academic, religious, or cultural reasons. [...]

Muitos poderão argumentar, com algum fundo de razão, que o encontro entre a música eletrónica e as sonoridades cubanas estão longe de ser uma novidade. Os exemplos são variados e por vezes recordados não pelas melhores razões. Uma das felizes exceções é a nova aventura do produtor Mala, nome fundamental na música urbana (principalmente no dubstep e suas margens). Mala In Cuba afasta-se da pastiche habitual e explora rumos e paisagens pouco habituais nestas incursões. Contexto legítimo para que se possa enquadrar a vinda de Mala na próxima sexta-feira, dia 29, ao MusicBox, com a pompa merecida. Trata-se [...]

Loughborough Echo - Sound Advice
Loughborough Echo - Sound AdviceANALOG Africa has taken a trip across the pond for it's latest release, Mambo Loco. And although it may be more Analog South America, they'd have been mad to ignore the awesome accordion don Anibal VelasQuez and his work with Su Conjunto. Colombian VelasQuez squeezes the funkiest sound I have ever heard emitted from a pair of bellows on these rare recordings from the 1970s, and fuses it with Colombian and Cuban carnival rhythms to create a style of his own, titled guaracha. Amazingly, despite producing more than 300 LPs over the years, this sound has barely [...]

Le Mellotron
Le MellotronMilieu des années 70, le combo Irakere emmené par l'immense pianiste Chucho Valdés s'affranchit des conventions musicales imposées par El Comandante et font enfin raisonner le jazz dans la musique cubaine . Né sur les cendres de l' Orquesta Cubana de Música Moderna , les membres fondateurs d'Irakere concoivent leur musique comme un mouvement global qui se nourrit de tous les styles sans discernement. Chucho Valdés , le trompettiste Arturo Sandoval et le sax Paquito D'Rivera vont réussir l'exploit d'imposer habilement le jazz, le funk et [...]
