Mongrel will travel to Venezuela to make music with President Hugo Chavez.
The band, featuring members of Babyshambles, Arctic Monkeys and Reverend And The Makers said:
“The Mongrel thing is just going to roll and roll, we’ve got plans to go and do a second record out in Venezuela with Hugo Chavez. Their culture’s kind of exploded and Chavez has put a lot of his wealth into restoring the indigenous culture and stuff…We’re going to do a kind of Buena Vista Social Club style thing out there with some of their drummers, and hip hop people and horn sections and stuff. It should be fun man. Venezuela is like the new Jamaica, or Brazil, or Cuba, it’s kicking off”.
