  1. #Video - Why a Grammy Winner Says You Can’t Understand Jazz Without Cuba
    peertube.world/w/3sepoddXTodz5

    [from the #news collective #bellyofthebeast]

    Arturo O’Farrill is a #Grammy-winning pianist, composer and one of the most influential voices in #AfroCubanJazz. But for him, #Cuba is more than just an inspiration — it’s home, history and identity.

    In #Havana, during the 41st International #Jazz Plaza Festival, Arturo told us why #jazz cannot be understood without Cuba, why #AfroCuban roots remain central to the music’s evolution, and why #cultural exchange persists despite the #US’s decades-long economic war on Cuba.

    Arturo has been returning to Cuba year after year for over two decades, honoring his heritage, and using #music as a bridge between Cuban and US citizens - despite the personal cost of taking political positions.

    “This is Cuba,” he says. “I come here to learn how to live.”

  11. Two videos for this morning's #workout #music - first up is Triorität who do #keyboard based #jazzFusion #AcidJazz

    youtu.be/oHrP7GHheks

    Also watched a nice set from Ezra Collective who do fusion with #Afrobeat #AfroCubanJazz #Reggae undertones.

    youtu.be/7tJRifi-orY

    Fascinating #Drummer s in both bands. Femi from Ezra collective has such a strange grip on his sticks, I don't see how he has such control. Holds them more like a hammer the faster he plays.

  16. This morning's #workout #music is some #AfroCubanJazz from Shabaka & The Ancestors. These guys are well-known #UK #jazz stars and their #AfroCaribbean influences remind me of #DizzyGillespie despite the lack of trumpet. I have heard them here and there, but this is the first deep dive I have taken. Lots of interesting things going on musically and I can see why they are popular, but I must say the emotional tone in this particular set is pretty neutral. Doesn't have the punch of similar projects (e.g., Matana Roberts' Coin Coin, or Art Ensemble of Chicago's We Are On The Edge) to my ear.

  21. Today's workout #music hits in the afternoon and is from a project that is new to me: Havana Meets Kingston. As you might guess from the name this is a #JazzFusion group doing a fusion of #AfroCubanJazz #Reggae #Dub #Cumbia and #PopMusic. A bit slick for my taste, but the musicians are all fantastic, sincere, and emotive. The music is deeply positive and worth checking out.

    Vocals : Brenda Navarette, Solis, Julito Padrón & Randy Valentine
    Sample & keyboards : Mista Savona
    Trumpet : Julito Padrón
    Tenor Saxophone : Matthieu Bost
    Guitar : Bopee Bowen
    Piano : Rolando Luna
    Bass : Valery Assouan
