This week's #TuesdayTimbre:
Meet Dj Jigüe aka Isnay Rodriguez, founder of the Cuban indie music label Guampara Productions. Santiago de Cuba, Cuba. Filmed directly from SXSW in Austin, TX! I invite you to check out my segmented interview explaining his genre of tropical Afro-Futurism where traditional instruments meet modern sounds, his performances in Germany, Brasil, Mexico, Spain, Poland, Afro-Latino Festival of New York, etc., and hear about what makes a great manager and how she helps promote him despite the limited Internet in Cuba. Catch him beatboxing even some Bollywood-type of music! New albums coming soon! Shout out to his manager Laura Catana, booking Isabella Schrammel , El Menor, Gilles Peterson of Brownswood, Revolutions Per Minute, Sol Collective, WOMEX, and his Top 5 Bob Marley, Marcus Miller, Mos Def (aka Yasiin Bey), J Dilla, Beny More, etc.
