Our pick of the week this week is ‘El 456’ by Cuban singer Daymé Arocena from her One Takes EP. This latest release finds Daymé exchanging ideas with label boss Gilles Peterson to put her unique spin on five different covers. It reflects the long-standing tradition in jazz and Latin music of covering old standards. Daymé’s deep timbre voice provides a refreshing take on this Cuban classic about an aeroplane journey.
