This week Fun Lovin' Criminal Huey Morgan meets a group who combine two of Huey's favourite musical genres in their band Ska Cubano. Ahead of performing at the jazz café they talk to Huey about their musical heritage and how the band came about, put together by Peter A, Scott an investment manager who spent 10 years exploring Cuba after visiting Jamaixa and getting into ska, calypso and reggae. Huey also spins his usual selection of unusual tunes - from latin to soul, hip hop, rap, punk and reggae that stem from his New York heritage or have inspired him as a musician. He puts the needle on the record for a listener's special vinyl request in 'Vinyl Fetish' and invites Simon Green, the British musician and producer known as Bonobo in for a residency in 'Sharing Is Caring'. Fresh from releasing his fourth album, the lush 'Black Sands' on Ninja Tunes, Simon raids his personal record collection to share some of the special or rare cuts of his collection with the listeners.
