Rhythms Del Mundo (Cuba)
You don’t often hear about The Chris Moyles Show on Radio 1 being an outlet for new music, however I was pleasantly surprised by the little gem he played on this morning’s show. Rhythms del Mundo (Cuba) is a concoction of various mainstream/alternative artists with a latin vibe. Their cover of Coldplay’s Clocks is excellent, as is Dancing Shoe’s by Artic Monkeys, which you can watch a pretty fun video of right here:
Whilst it’s not strictly ‘new’ as it was released a year-and-a-half ago, it is a very contagious album. All of the western covers are very well done and there are a couple of catchy Cuban numbers too. No doubt you’ll see them cropping up on my last.fm. You can buy it at play.com and amazon.co.uk.
