Walk the streets of Havana on any day and youll hear the soul of Cuba: music pouring from private homes and bustling restaurants, windows rattling with the parties thrown inside, nightclubs pulsing with throngs of people dancing. On his vibrant and spirited third recording for Mack Avenue Records, Havana-based pianist and composer Harold Lpez-Nussa sets out to capture that stirring sensation with an exhilarating marriage of jazz and Cuban pop music, defiantly standing up to the doubters who failed to share his radical vision. Features collaborations with Afro-Cuban funk superstar Cimafunk, Randy Malcom of Gente de Zona, and French accordionist Vincent Peirani offering a visionary blend of Afro-Cuban jazz, reggaeton, songo and other unexpected styles.
