Hard-hitting salsa grooves, soul vocals and steamy salsa arrangements can only describe this latest album of mine.  The CD also pushes the salsa boundaries with a Bhangra-Salsa track ‘Oh Kuri’ recorded in Southall and featuring young singer Shahid Abbas Khan.  Regular salsa dancers will recognize the hits ‘Show Me’ and ‘Ain’t Nobody’ and young rapper MC Magico features on a reggaeton-salsa ‘Subelo’.

This CD is designed as an introduction to the salsa orchestra for the dancer.

This album is a must for anyone who wants to get closer and deeper into the music.  ___________________________________________________

Havana, Cuba was my destination - and my mission to fuse the heat of Cuba with my London sound.  To this end, three of us travelled to the island, picked up eight of the best musicians in Havana and went in to the legendary EGREM studios to lay down latin jazz and salsa tracks.  Getting Mayito Rivera from ‘Los Van Van’ to sing the title track was a major coup as was the inclusion of Clave y Guaguancó - one of the top Cuban rumba groups.
