Havana Meets Kingston is a collaboration between the musicians of Cuba and Jamaica.[1]

In 2015 Australian producer Mista Savona (born Jake Dominic Savona)[2] flew a group of Jamaican musicians into Cuba to record a full length album bringing together the musicians and artists of both islands.[3] The resulting album Havana Meets Kingston was released in 2017.[1] Recorded at EGREM Studios in Centro Habana, Cuba, the album was described by Readings as “a one-of-a-kind musical project…Jake is pioneering a new frontier of cross-cultural musical exchange.”[4] Musicians featured on the album include Jamaican rhythm section Sly and Robbie, guitarist Ernest Ranglin and original members of Buena Vista Social Club, Los Van Van and Irakere.[1] International tours followed including a live performance at the Royal Albert Hall in London for the BBC Proms, televised in full on BBC TV & Radio, and described by The Times as "Nothing Short Of Explosive”.[5]

Havana Meets Kingston was released in November 2017 by ABC Music, VP Records, Baco Records and Cumbancha, and Havana Meets Kingston Part 2 is due for release in October 2021.[1]
