In the mid to late 50's Havana was THE ultimate tourist destination - the music in the nightclubs was hotter than anywhere else in the world, featuring the most colorful dancers and a tropical ambiance that was unparalleled. The sounds of that era can never be duplicated, nor the influential artists who brought the music to life such as Bebo Valdes, Doris de la Torre, Frank Emilio Flynn, Puntillita and later Luis Santi and Nelson Padron who immigrated to Miami in the early 60's. Now fast-forward 60 years to the clubs of today. DJs all over the world have plugged into the exotic rhythms of the Golden Age of Cuban music indeed these rare artifacts have been sampled by some of the hottest taste-makers on the planet.

The Cuban Remix Project was born from the concept of combining the exotic music of Havana's Golden Age with the technology and the DJ of today. You get 17 tracks of absolute genius as world renowned producers and remixers from around the globe such as Chris Joss and DJ Slick from France, Giacomo Bondi from Italy, Kool Kojak Comandante from Brooklyn, Billy Paul Williams from Miami and a host of others reclaim the music and transform it into something brand new. Every track is absolutely astounding as the music of the past becomes the sound of today!
