Loopmasters
Havana Meets Kingston £39.95
This sample pack is a meeting of musical minds, as two distinct camps open their studios to each other. Australian producer, Mista Savona, brought 50+ vocalists and musicians together for the task and, over the 2.5GB of sounds, you get a sizzling fusion of genres and instruments, from some of the islands’ big names. Picks include the storm of funky rhythms provided by Cuba’s top drummer, Rodney Barreto and the crisp recordings were captured in Bob Marley’s own Tuff Gong Studios. Plenty of grooves to plunder.
