Ska Cubano
Well of course! Now why didn’t I think of that before? You might well ask after listening to “Ska Cubano”, the debut album concocted by London’s ska king Natty Bo and the Hep Cats of Santiago de Cuba. Jamaica and Cuba being so close together and all, you would think this type of fusion was quite simply logical, inevitable even. But if other projects have already been hatched, none come even close to this one in terms of musicality and subtlety. Throughout the album, whether it be the Cuban or Ska element that is spotlighted, the energy of each partner in crime is preserved while their encounter naturally gives birth to a new and fresh groove. Even when covering such legendary tunes as ‘Babalu’ by Margarita Lecuona, here with a fat ska beat backing the Afro-Cuban rhythms and chants. A daring and courageous challenge that has been skilfully met. One can only ask for more. Otra!
