Presented by @havana-cultura, the latest installment of our Manana podcast series takes you on a journey through Cuban hip hop, Afro-Latin jazz, reggae and funk with Afro-Cuban music producer and Mc, @sublevao-beat aka Kumar.

Kumar began his musical career in the height of Havana's 1990s Hiphop movement. The profound influence that Afro-Latin jazz, reggae, funk and, especially, traditional Afro-Cuban music have had on his musical work have allowed him to achieve a personal sound that combines MPC live performance with Afro-Cuban percussion, synths and live acoustic instruments.
