KonoyLosChicosdeCuba is a Latin jazz group formed in Havana by Japanese percussionist KONO after a quarter-century of professional musical activity in Cuba. After releasing their debut album Universos Paralelos, which featured covers of 12 Japanese folk songs set to diverse Cuban rhythms, they released covers of “Tokyo wa Yoru no Shichi-ji” and “Plastic Love” in the 2020s. The 7-inch vinyl single of their “Plastic Love” cover reached No. 10 on the Oricon Indie Chart dated October 6, 2025. Their third release in this series of covers of classic Japanese pop songs is a Cuban salsa cover of Sugar Babe’s “DOWNTOWN”! Performed by KONO and Havana’s top young musicians, this gorgeous cover features intense Cuban rhythms and brass arrangements that bring out the glamour of “DOWNTOWN.” Featuring mizqui as the guest vocalist on the Japanese version, this release—which marks a further evolution in the fusion of Japanese and Cuban music—is already set to be released as a 7-inch single!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.DOWN TOWN (Short Edit)\u003cbr\u003e1.DOWN TOWN (Spanish Version - Short Edit)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AIYOU Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52888285806881,"sku":"4580070260093","price":2530.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4580070260093.jpg?v=1782235131","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4580070260093","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
