Carson C. Lee has written a modern take on the sound of Havana on his new single “Cubanos.” Mixing traditional Cuban instrumentation with downtempo electronic production, Lee captures a certain sense of melancholy, acceptance and peace. The horns provide an uplifting dynamic amid lingering electronic tones and lightly strummed guitar and electro-organic percussion in a relaxed calypso style. Given the companion music video, it seems as though Lee sought to capture the more leisurely pace of life he experienced in Cuba, it’s almost poetic cadence, and the sense of history and its mix of tragedy and romance. Lee captures it all in a modern interpretation of a classic sound. Listen to “Cubanos” on Spotify, watch the music video which includes footage from Cuba and follow Carson C.
