Club Tip CMU Approved
Approved: Gilles Peterson presents Havana Cultura
By Paul Vig | Published on Friday 18 November 2011
Gilles Peterson brings the heartbeat of Havana’s musical underground to Brixton for one special night only. Celebrating the latest instalment in his ‘Havana Cultura’ album series – perhaps not as good as the first but definitely worth a check – Gilles imports an all-star Cuban live band to inject some authentic Latin flavour and raw Cuban rhythms, hopefully Danay Suarez will be there, a hugely talented vocalist alongside Ogguere, who rocked the after party at the Barbican last year.
GP also recruits none other than Masters At Work legend Louie Vega to headline the DJ bill, playing a special ‘Nuyorican Soul’ set not heard in the UK for many years. This is worth going some distance for: Vega is both a top notch producer and DJ.
Saturday 19 Nov, Electric Brixton, Town Hall Parade, SW2 1RJ, 9pm – 4am, £12adv/£15 door, more info here.
