   About V V
DJ, producer and percussionist Vince Vella blends a deep knowledge and understanding of Afro-Cuban rhythms with house, hip-hop, techno, soul and jazz and more. VV has represented Goya and Reinforced on the decks, and also broadcast his own radio show on Nuwave radio (www.nuwaveradio.co.uk). Alongside spinning records, VV is also an accomplished percussionist who has studied in Cuba and Brazil. He received guidance from the late Tata Guines (mentor to Anga Diaz), Changuito, Yosvany Duran, and Yaroldi, among many. His love affair with Cuba continues, and he is currently working on collaborations with trumpet player Julio Padron (Irakere and Interactivo) and musicians from Afro Cuban All Stars, Irakere, Chucho Valdes, Temperamento and Carlinhos Brown’s band. His latest production – an Afro-Cuban dancefloor slammer. June 2009 V V recorded and co-produced an album in Cuba with Gilles Peterson, Roberto Fonseca, Obsesion, Mayra Caridad Valdes, Danay and many other special guests, out soon on Brownswood recordings. expect some Latin Fireworks!!!!! VV is also a journalist for Straight No Chaser and Shook.
