Seldom do Americans get the opportunity to visit the communist Caribbean island of Cuba, but for those who do manage to make their way to the somewhat forbidden hot spot, the journey is often one of great inspiration. Bronx producer, Dub Sonata (Kool G Rap, Rhymefest, Sadat X) was fortunate to visit Cuba last year and the result of his trip was the captivating 19-track NIGHTS IN CUBA.

Dub Sonata - Puffin’ on a Fat Blunt
This is instrumental album is a sample junkie’s FIX!! This is definitely a masterpiece so if you dig the track above – you get a lot more of that on the album – DOWNLOAD HERE
Spending over a week digging through crates of records on the island, Dub Sonata was encouraged by various samples including those from the likes of Los Reyes 73, Merceditas Valdes and Pablo Milanes. The impact that the musical vibe of possibly one of the most culture rich countries had on Dub Sonata resulted in the producer returning home to his native New York to fuse all the sounds and samples experienced into one project.
