Danay @ The Worldwide Music Awards
Thursday, January 28th, 2010There will be a bit of Havana at this year’s Worldwide Music Awards from special guest Danay, flying direct from Cuba and presented by Havana Cultura.
Gilles Peterson discovered Danay when he recently teamed up with Havana Cultura to produce an album of up and coming musical talent from the Cuban capital.
Peterson said of Danay:
“A remarkable new voice whom I met whilst interviewing artists for my BBC Radio 1 documentary. She played me some of her original songs and I immediately knew that she had to take part in this project. Lagrimas de Soledad was the song from her demo’s that I loved the most and it is on this where her work with Roberto is the most magical moment of the album”.
Watch Roberto Fonseca and Danay in action here. It is not hard to agree with Gilles, they form an impressive collaboration.
CD 1 – Lagrimas de soledad (No existen palabras) / Lagrimas de soledad
