A pleasure dome of sensual overload and rum-fuelled abandon, where shows and showgirls were dazzling, gambling was high-stakes, and revellers included Marlon Brando, Ernest Hemingway, Frank Sinatra and J.F.K., to name a few. Mojitos, Mobsters, Mambos &#038; Muchachas. A forbidden, hedonistic world of Rum, Rumba and Roulette. The full range of Sexual freedom, of cial corruption, and Ma a control ignited the rampant party &#8211; until Sylvester 1958 when Fidel Castro\u2019s revolutionaries took the  oor.<br \/>\nBahama Soul Club\u2019s 4th album presents a very personal soundtrack, a musical homage, inspired by a vibrant verve that never came back. We encounter a heady blend of glittering nightclubs, outrageous cabarets, fashionable hotels and look deep into backstreet brothels, empty wallets and bemusing de\u0301colletages. Rumba is everywhere.<br \/>\nWith their  rst albums BSC established an elegant and percussive cocktail of Latin Jazz, Soul, Bossa and Boogaloo, to which they now add the dark, sensual and alluring mystic of Tiki and Exotica into the mix. What we get is a new Caribbean long-drink named: HAVANA \u201958 &#8230;&#8230; Genre: Afro-Cuban Jazz &#8230;&#8230; Style: 60s\/cinematic &#8230;&#8230; Sound: Hi-Fidelity-Plus<br \/>\nAs could be heard on award-winning previous album \u201cThe Cuban Tapes\u201d, the fascinating voices of hand-selected Cuban singers have a strong in uence and special effect on this production as well. Cuba\u2019s leading vocal quartet SEXTO SENTIDO surprise us with traditional Yoruba chants in \u201cEleggua\u201d, irresistible complex harmonies in the magnum mobster opus \u201cMeyer-Lansky\u201d and show us some disco love in \u201cTropicana Flight\u201d. The vivacious OLVIDO RUIZ, singer in the Bahama Soul Club live band (long awaited and for the  rst time on recorded disc), presents the full bandwidth of her expressive vocal ranged from Boogaloo (\u201cMue\u0301velo Papi\u201d) to Lounge (\u201cNight Breeze\u201d) up to the dark 6\/8-ballade \u201cLet God\u201d. And once again we  nd the lovely AREMA AREGA with rolling \u201cRumba Fugaz\u201d.<br \/>\nThese ladies were selected by Gilles Peterson for the well-respected Havana-Cultura-Project and reveal their traditional Cuban roots when combining fun and intellect while smartly ignoring passing trends. More than any mambo mania and tiring salsa they stand for the swinging lightness and pulsating cosmopolitan lifestyle of the contemporary Cuban scene. Finally, as a very special guest: The American Jazz and Soul singer BRENDA BOYKIN from the mighty Club Des Belugas with the hypnotic \u201cNo Words\u201d and the shuf ing \u201cDizzy\u2019s Bounce\u201d.<br \/>\nThe video to  rst single \u201cNo Words\u201d starts exactly at the point where the previous video \u201cAy Jona\u201d ended. Once again it is composed by breath-taking pictures of the most deliriously beautiful  lm ever made: \u201cI Am Cuba\u201d, directed in 1964 by Mikhail Kalatozov and presented in the 90s by Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese. The rights owners\u201a The Cuban Institute of Cinematography, were deeply impressed by the quality of the new music and agreed to combine the award winning footage with the upcoming videos to feature \u201cHAVANA \u201958\u201d with pure genuine Cuban patina.
