CD 2 - La perla del son

Wichy de Vedado & Tony Rodriguez

“Wichy caught me out when he invited me to his weekly club night in Havana. He’s spent a few years really educating the crowd to a European electronic sound — where he gets his music is a mystery! And his work with Tony Rodriguez is a fresh-Cuban-beats-meets-jazz fusion sound which works a treat.”

A pillar of Havana’s underground electronic music scene, Wichy’s musical journey began with imported American 80s pop. A group of German DJs visiting Havana opened his ears to acid house, inspiring him to experiment with his own homemade electronic loops, applying them to soundtracks for short features. Lately he has been working with jazz pianist Tony Rodriguez as D’Jazz, a global project blending DJing and live jazz music.
