Cuban and American Music Gets Fused Together On "Two Beats, One Soul" Album

RVMK Records/Sony Music Latin releases Two Beats, One Soul, a 13-track album showcasing the fusion of Cuban and American music.

The album, executive produced by Ray Chew and Vivian Scott Chew along with their partners Mark and Kathy Grier, celebrates and explores the evolution of two cultures focused on Cuba’s impact on worldwide music by recreating traditional Cuban sounds and rhythms in today’s musical landscape. Two Beats, One Soul features music from producers Ray Chew, Louie Vega, Sergio George and Cuba’s own, Manolito Simonet. Simonet also joins fellow Cuban artists Ruben and Gabriel Rodriguez, Xiomara Laugart, Milagros Hodelin and Etian “Brebaje Man.”

Representing the US are R&B/Soul mainstays Eric Benét, Jon B. and Josh Milan. Rounding out the project is Latin/Pop/Latin Soul artists Jean Rodriguez and Anané. And adding the cherry on top of this musical and cultural collaboration are reggae artists Shaggy and Red Fox.

The result is a lush, rich fusion of latin rhythms, soulful vocals, and vibrant melodies all wrapped up in a bilingual, multi-cultural opus.

Accumulating more than 17 Grammy Awards among all participating artists, the album is released digitally today (September 22) which precedes the physical release on November 17th.

Accompanying the soulful album will be a long and short form documentary directed by Billie Woodruff, also titled "Two Beats, One Soul" shot in the country of Cuba. The documentary, to be released in October, visually walks through the album making process, giving supporters an upfront glimpse into the Cuban culture and lifestyle through a musical lens. For a taste of what to expect, listen to the lead single off the project “The World is A Family” produced by Louie Vega and featuring Josh Milan.
