After nearly eight months of work and sweat and endless inane conversations with Cuban officials, I???ve finally finished Si, Para Usted: The Funky Beats of Revolutionary Cuba. The first batch of CDs arrived from the manufacturer this afternoon and they are looking brilliant. Distribution in Japan and Europe is in the works, Canada and USA is pending, and I???ve got nifty little buttons on my website that will let you buy it direct. I???m hugely excited to have the finished product in my hands, but this CD belongs to Soulstrut as well. I wouldn???t have been able to bumble through this project without the massive help of a dozen different strutters and for this I am really thankful. A few brief mentions:--Mike from Burlesque for incredible the incredible design--Thes One for patiently sharing endless knowledge about the ways of the music world--Paul from Samo media for the help with manufacturing--Rich/Rockadelic for sage advice on reissues --Haz for the business advice--Aser/Catalist/et al for the feedback and pointing me towards the next project--Raj for bringing me into contact with all these folks and showing me how to make Papal shopping carts work--Joe from MDF for doing the mastering and tweaking--AKO for doing the Waxing Deep logo--All the strutters who are about to buy a copy (at risk of being a little presumptuous)--Ron EZ for introducing me to the title trackAdd to the list if I???m forgetting someone!

Do you have any idea if there will be radio distribution? I work at WHUS (Uconn, Storrs) where there are a lot of soul/funk DJs as well as a lot of "world" DJs. This would be a crossover classic that would be heavily cherished.
Incidentally, didn't u get the title track originally (via a certain UK compiler) off of me?
Kudos again buddy..! Can't wait to get a copy!

Dan , congrats man ! I know the feeling must be excellent.

Were you always going to put Son A Propulsion on? Or was that from me forcing HAZ & Aser check it out?
That track is FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I should have bought the record when I had the chance.
Can't wait to hear the remastered versions of these. Great Job!
Who do you have lined up for the Si, Para Usted Remixed album?
Looks great. The cover design almost reminds me of something by that dude who always does the artwork for Wes Anderson movies. I think it might be his brother. Nice lookin'...
Glad to see this finally come to life!
