Something just a touch different this week, which serves as a little warm up for this weekend’s live event at Floripa in Shoreditch featuring a live Latin Jazz Experiment. Havana Cultura’s Vince Vella dropped this little mixtape into us as a precursor to his guest DJ set on Sunday and it’s a tasty journey through Latin rhythms. Digging deep in the legendary Cuban Areito (Egrem) label’s vaults, Vince pulls out a killer selection of mambos, descargas, rumba and of course, Latin jazz, aimed squarely at the dancefloor. A strictly vinyl mix featuring tracks from Irakere, Los Papines, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Los Van Van, Beny Moré Afrocuba, Los Munetico de Matanzas, Juan Pablo Torres and more, kick back, relax, press play and start your weekend off right! As ever, thanks for listening and we hope you can join us at Floripa sometime in June. We’ve got some great events lined up for the summer.
