HAVANA MEETS KINGSTON: The Album & Film
Management:
World - Anna (
EU - Vianney (
'Picture this - Kingston Meets Havana!' Although the two islands of Jamaica and Cuba are only miles apart, there has never been a recording project that truly fuses the music of the two islands together - until now.
HAVANA MEETS KINGSTON is a world first album due for release in mid 2017. The project began in 2015 when Australian producer Mista Savona teamed up with Sly & Robbie, Bongo Herman, 'Bopee' Anderson and other legendary Jamaican musicians and personally flew them to Havana to work with members of the Buena Vista Social Club, Los Van Van, Havana Cultura & more. Alongside these highly experienced musicians Savona also scouted for young & up-and-coming artists from both countries, and it's this fusion of age, experience, culture and musical styles that makes this project so exceptional.
The joy in the studio and the sheer skill of the musicians involved has resulted in something truly unique and extraordinary. Recorded at the famous Egrem Studios in Havana, the project is called HAVANA MEETS KINGSTON and will be released in two parts - album #1 in 2017, with album #2 and a feature documentary following in 2018. Our first introductory video has already gone viral!

The first single to be unleashed from this amazing project is ‘Carnival', featuring Jamaican born vocalist Randy Valentine and Cuban singer Solis. It is a triumphant anthem and a song that speaks of the transformative power of music & dance. With its hypnotic rolling basslines, deep roots reggae feel and strong Afro-Cuban influence 'Carnival' is a song that may well open a new chapter in the history of Caribbean music. Sung in both English and Spanish, it switches effortlessly between the sounds and languages of the two islands and yet somehow feels completely natural and catchy - despite the very different rhythms and traditions of Cuban and Jamaican music.
‘Carnival’ is bursting with energy and originality and offers a great insight into the full length album – in which the magic of cross cultural collaboration can be clearly heard, felt & seen.
LYRICS (English & Spanish)
Welcome to Havana town
Cuba and Jamaica link up people gather around
Mr DJ turn up the sound
Yo Solis tell me how it sound!
CHORUS
Quiero bailar, reir gozar
en la orilla del mar (x2)
Hacer un carnaval
La tristeza borrar
Volver a comenzar
Bajo las estrellas
Un nuevo dia
[translation: I want to dance , laugh & enjoy
on the seashore.
Make a carnival
Clear the sadness
Begin again
Under the stars
A brand new day]
VERSE 1
Oh Lord! Eyes closed picture this:
Kingston meets Havana
Solis, Randy Valentine and Jake Savona
I take you pon a journey mixing music like the drink them call Cubana,
Mixing Cuban percussions and thoughts from Ghana
Free up yourself, do what you wanna
Roll it up, light it up, smoke your marijuana
When you there pon the corner
Nobody will bring no kind of drama
Today you need no ammo or no armour
I got to walk straight on this rocky road
Positive attitude whenever I'm on the move
Mi no want to tell you what to do
But them say if you show love then it comes back to you
So let the reggae music play on the beach tonight
Give me a signal if you feel the vibe
Give me a light, look alive
Reggae music in Havana everything is nice
CHORUS
VERSE 2
Eyes closed I can feel the vibrations
Many think that I'm asleep
But when I speak let my lyrics take you to the highest peak
And when you reach, don't you dare take a seat
Just take the love that you receive and put it on repeat
And we can all gather at the sea
Like one big family, let's make some memories
And if I want to break away
I go to Santiago yes that is the sweetest place<br...

NO SURRENDER OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO
Production: Warrior Films
Director: Dameon Gayle
Producer: Kim Suree
Location: Orange st, Kingston, Jamaica
The official music video for No Surrender was filmed on iconic Orange St in downtown Kingston, Jamaica. Orange St was once buzzing with Jamaica’s influential record shops and recording studios, such as Prince Buster’s infamous Record Shack, driving an outpouring of reggae, ska and rocksteady from the island.
Produced by Warrior Films and directed by Dameon Gayle, the video brings to life tough ragga vocals from reggae legends Sizzla, Capleton and Fantan Mojah, singing about life on the streets of Kingston over producer Monkey Marc’s classic heavy hip hop beat and driving bass lines.
Starting with Capleton chanting down Babylon, Fantan Mojah welcomes the listener to ‘the streets of the tough life’, declaring ‘To survive in the streets, them ask how we do it? We tell them, No surrender, no retreat!” Sizzla voices a war-cry for the poor and oppressed in Jamaica, as he calls on both the young and old to stand up and 'make your life better’, encouraging his Jamaican community to stay positive, work hard and find a way out of poverty and sufferation.
The music video is a vibrant showcase of the Jamaican dancehall dance scene, featuring some of the most iconic Jamaican dancers and dynamic dancehall crews from across the island, including oldschool dancers Colo Colo, Boysie Roses and Koolkid, Kimiko Versatile (First Class Dancers / DanceJA), Supreme Blazers, Xqlusiv, Kriptic Klique and Team Outshine.

LYRICS
Intro / Capleton
Babylon days are numbered
I see dem a fall and slumber
I heard dem a bawl and blunder
So easily dem going down.
Babylon days are numbered
I see dem a fall and slumber
I hear dem a bawl and blunder
So easily dem going down.
Verse 1 / Fantan Mojah
Welcome to the streets of the tough life
As a warrior me grow up wid a rough life
When wi touch di caana, we nuh run drama
Real gangsta nuh love spotlight
When me step to the food no joke about it
Hot fire start blaze and dem cyan come out it
Anything inna me way betta move
Cause if you mek a move to me place.
Chorus / Sizzla
And me say bless up fi di poor

Money fi di poor me say, and through the weather
Bless up fi di poor

Verse 2 / Capleton
Hey Babylon a crosses
Well the wrong set of youths them go fuss with
Woi! Them a snake under grass with
Nuff a them guh go bow to the bosses
Well a fireman a bun them ago scorch with
So we ago bun dem to ashes
A nuff youths them have as hostage
Say dem wah fi shoot dem like a portage

(Deh one yah name)
CHORUS
Verse 3 / Sizzla
Poor people a suffer so long me observe it
Morning to night them a offer them service
Do it for the children, well make sure preserve it
Poor people more than willing and worthy
Give them everything and give them more than that
Give them everything, and give them more pan that
Poor people foundation, and me sure bout that
From the floor to the top.
CHORUS
Verse 4 / Fantan Mojah
Gangster rules, haffi know how fi hunt fi eat
You haffi pressure the road, seven days a week
To survive in the streets, them ask how we dweet
Tell them no surrender, me say no retreat
We living in the days of the mob
Ain’t no informing thing
Don’t call the 5-0
They will kill you for the money weh you have
When you hand the gold to make the dough
You better lie low.
Bridge / Sizzla
Every ghetto youths affi reach somewhere
Every ghetto youths affi reach somewhere
Every ghetto youths affi reach...
On 27 February 2015 it was once again time for Soca vs Dancehall's annual Jouvert Morning Edition.
The Jouvert Morning edition is a bacchanal characterized by patrons coming out in their pyjamas and getting on bad. For those of you not familiar with "jouvert morning" it's a term that comes from the French jour ouvert which translates to the break of dawn. Many Caribbean islands celebrate this break of dawn during Carnival season by hitting the streets very early in the morning wearing their PJ's, bathrobes or any other crazy sexy outfit they feel comfortable in. With a large number of islanders here in Rotterdam it's no surprise that the Soca vs Dancehall organization holds a successful Jouvert Morning edition every year. This year was even a little too successful as the line outside was so long that the party sold out before everyone got in. With over 600 guests inside
African megastar Patoranking who recently announced his most anticipated European tour uncovers the official visuals for the remix of his infectious record “Daniella Whine” taken from his GOE Album. Featuring Jamaican dancehall superstars Elephant Man and Konshens, this song is the perfect fusion of the Afro-dancehall genres.
Watch the video and enjoy as Patoranking who has undoubtedly solidified himself as one of Africa’s most in demand artists in the Caribbean and let it take you from the streets and beaches of Jamaica to local restaurants and bars, while the music travels from your ears through your body as you bust a whine.
