Pastime Paradise
Sunlightsquare
Stevie Wonder's Pastime Paradise, turned salsaton, with Z-Star on vocals.
Listen and buy
Sunlightsquare's take on the Stevie Wonder song, from Urban Latin Soul. Z-Star sings, Giovanni Imparato drives the percussion and Claudio Passavanti's Latin piano tumbles through it. Gilles Peterson played it on his BBC Radio 1 show in November 2008, and in December it came out as three digital singles: the original, a Soulful Mix and a House Mix. In 2010 it moved onto a 7-inch, SUN7002, backed with the Latin Combo's Para Guarachar from Havana Central. The label's press release called the style "salsaton". The 7-inch has sold out, and on Discogs more than twice as many collectors want it as own it.
- Played by Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 1, 20 Nov 2008

- On Rambling Records' Jazz & Flowers compilation (Japan, 2008)
