HAVANA MEETS KINGSTON: The Album & Film
'Picture this - Kingston Meets Havana!' 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!

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.
'Vibración Positive' is our tribute to Bob Marley and draws from his classic song 'Positive Vibration' from the 'Rastaman Vibration' album. Randy Valentine & Anyilena's lyrics are as follows:
The tree is known by its fruits
There is no life in lies, it's all in the Truth
Koo! Aha
Yes I, Oh Lord
Rastaman Vibration, yeh positive
Vive y déjame vivir [ Live and let me live]
I and I vibration, yeh positive
Da lo mejor de ti [ Give the best of yourself]
Rastaman Vibration, yeh positive
Siente la buena vibra [ Feel the good vibe]
I and I Vibration, yeh positive
Come down!
I nah sail in a babylon boat, no
Me just a talk my truth
Nah water down and dilute no
Me just a talk my truth, straight talk
Me nah hide and shoot
Me just a talk my truth
Ghetto youths, don't put your mouth pon mute
You haffi defend your Truth
(Watch ya, ay)
My truth a my truth, wha you feel like
You no like my truth and I see why
Still I got a vision and me deh pon a mission
Like Denzil in the book of Eli
And don't expect me to deny
My truth for your truth, suppose your truth don't please I
And I don't waan your lies lead I, no no, no
This might sound loco, but if a truth could a sell like Cocoa
Call it a sin but I would put it in a tin and use my face as the logo
And no, me nah do it for promo
Gather around, mek we take a photo
Positive vibration me a deal wit, the negative side is a no go, so me nah…
CH
Ohhh the world is now connected
So all the truths will be corrected
And every one who was rejected, and affected
Will be selected
Nothing nah wrong with me so why you waan fix me,
You waan trick me, fi try microchip me
And do the same thing to my likkle pickney
Like wha dem did to Whitney
But I move swiftly like a brand new Honda fifty
Speeding too fast for you to catch me
Me no punk me no drunk no give me no rum nor whiskey
'Cause the more I grow the more I'm overstanding
that I'm the governor of where I'm standing
I'm gonna live my life the way Jah planned it
And it's ok if you don't understand me, yeh
CH
(oh Lord, nah water, straight talk yo, vibration yea)
Oh right, oh
The world is now connected
So all the truths will be corrected
And every one who was rejected, and affected
Will be selected
