Gilles Peterson talks rumba re-invented, Cuba's new school and plans for Love Supreme Festival with Chris Philips
Gilles Peterson joined his old mate Chris Philips on air to talk about his new Havan Cultura Band album. Taking the elements of traditional and ritualistic Cuban music, in particular rumba rhythms, Gilles farmed the recordings to some of his favourite electronic producers and the result is a stark and unique genre bending collection of deep club beats. He also spoke about plans for his special presentation at Love Supreme Festival this summer with a 'Dingwalls Special' and live show featuring Cuban vocalist Dayme Arocena and played an exclusive new cut from her second album, a much anticipated April release for his label Brownswood Recordings.
