While they have shared a stage or two over the years, the two musicians have now finally dived into a full collab. Since his early days as part of the legendary Buena Vista Social Club, the name Roberto Fonseca has been synonymous with a renaissance of Afro-Cuban music open to all corners of the music world, from hip-hop to electronic to funk. Vincent Segal is no different, as seen in the incredible wealth of his own career, from his groundbreaking work with his duo Bumcello and his collabs with artists from a broad range of backgrounds. The two performers have fused their schedules and styles to create the sublime Nuit parisienne à la Havane, recorded in a single five-day session in Havana. The album plays on the delicate threads linking classical music and danzón, a genre open to improvisation and native to the Caribbean island which blends Spanish traditions with Cuban rhythms. The repertoire which has sprung from their fingers is poignantly and romantically beautiful.
