Part 2 of Gilles Peterson’s ‘Havana Club Rumba Sessions’ project is a piece vinyl release of remixes formed from three original recordings of various Rumba styles. This is is the second stage of his three stage process which included the release of a feature length Documentary, this collection of remixes and a forthcoming sample pack.
” Peterson worked with the island’s esteemed rumberos to record authoritative versions of the three rhythms as well as discuss what differing meanings and origins are attached to each. The recordings of rumba’s three key styles were handed to a crop of producers working in the orbit of the most interesting corners of club music, allowing for an exciting, global re-interpretation of rumba’s roots. The result is Havana Club Rumba Sessions: a collection of remixes that’s as varied as you’d expect from a roster of producers spread across locales as wide as South London to Japan and beyond “
