DOWNLOAD: Gilles Peterson - Roforofo Fight (Louie Vega Remix)
A year or so ago, jack of all musical trades Gilles Peterson spent five days recording in Havana, Cuba with jazz pianist Roberto Fonseca and his band. The results–a blend of Latin- and Afro-jazz fusion teeming with prodigious efficacy–became Havana Cultura: New Cuban Sound, released last year on Peterson's Brownswood label. Being, by profession, a DJ, Peterson has now put together an accompanying remix disc, roping in luminaries like New Jersey house don Louie Vega and UK garage pioneer MJ Cole to retouch the sessions. Vega let the Fela Kuti cover "Roforofo Fight" breathe under his thumb, subtly stretching it out into nine minutes of sweltering bliss. Whatever the opposite of insufferable is, it's that.
