"Lágrimas de soledad"— Danay Suárez [ Havana Cultura ]

Back in the days before YouTube and iTunes, our ancestors roamed the Earth in search of a music-sharing community, huddling together for warmth in underground clubs, listening to pirate radio stations. Gilles Peterson was their high priest, leading them out of the primeval darkness to "the perfect beat". If you were one of those early hominids dancing to "acid jazz" in a London club in the late-1980s, you probably nodded your approval to Gilles Peterson in the DJ booth. If you spent the '90s attending raves in Ibiza (or listening to them from a safe distance on BBC Radio 1), there was Gilles again dishing up his soul-funk-hiphop-disco-jazz-electro-stew, prepared with choice ingredients from his own record collection which, like the universe, is understood to be constantly expanding. http://havana-cultura.com/en/music/ha...
