(December 29, 2017) One of the most ambitious new albums to come out in the past few months has been the incredible Two Beats, One Soul, a 13 track album showcasing the fusion of Cuban and American music. The album, executive produced by Ray Chew and Vivian Scott Chew along with their partners Mark and Kathy Grier, celebrates and explores the evolution of two cultures, focused on Cuba’s impact on worldwide music by recreating traditional Cuban sounds and rhythms in today’s musical landscape.
Two Beats, One Soul features music from several international stars — some based in Cuba and others in the US. And one of the most irresistible songs on the disc features soul man Jon B, who shines on a song that is a beautiful cultural blend, opening with a soft guitar and rhythm section and building into something absolutely special. It is great to hear Jon on record again, and this “Havana Moon” is a perfect vehicle.
Check out Jon B and “Havana Moon” below, and then come back next week when Two Beats, One Soul ebecomes our CD of the Month for January!
