HAVANA CLUB X SKEPTA 2.0

A celebration of his Nigerian roots, this Havana Club 7 bottle is all about the creative and cultural connections between Yoruba culture and Afro-Cuban spirit.
SKEPTA 2.0
SKEPTA 2.0
This second edition bottle is inspired by Skepta’s chieftaincy and the journeys that pave our path to greatness. As the collaboration makes clear, “This Havana Club 7 bottle honours my roots. It traces the migration of Yoruba culture from Africa to Cuba and back again. Inspired by the region of my chieftainship in Ogun State Nigeria, it celebrates inner strength and the journeys that make us great.” – Skepta
Inspiration
Alongside the release of the limited edition Havana Club 7 bottle, Skepta and Havana Club have also curated a campaign film of Skepta on his journey from London back to Nigeria to explore the story of his Yoruba roots continuing on from the journey of discovery with Havana Club in Havana, Cuba last year. Travelling from Ogun State to Lagos and the renowned New Africa Shrine, this campaign video specifically celebrates Yoruba culture, both traditional and contemporary, a culture that Skepta, Cuba and Havana Club all share.
