Blondie were always one of the more imaginative acts to emerge from the storied New York punk club CBGB in the 1970s.
Singer Debbie Harry’s new wave credentials were impeccable, but the band she fronted soon outgrew the limitations of three-chord rock songs. They topped the UK charts with a disco single, Heart Of Glass, sparking cries of ‘Sell out!’ from their peroxide-dyed peers. Other hits included a classic reggae cover, The Tide Is High, and the brilliant Rapture, one of the first singles to mix rap and rock.
So it’s no surprise to find the band, with Harry still in magnificent voice at 76, continuing to take chances. Vivir En La Habana, out today on vinyl and digitally, was made in Cuba and puts a Latin spin on some of their biggest hits. Made on a visit to the island in 2019, it’s billed as an EP, but is actually a 40-minute live album, with three of its six tracks expanded into lengthy medleys.

The most successful band to emerge from New York s punk/new wave scene of the 1970s, they had six number one hits in the UK, including Heart Of Glass and Atomic, and sold 40 million records worldwide.
After six years touring the world, they disbanded in 1982, after guitarist Chris Stein was diagnosed with a near-fatal skin disease. Frontwoman Debbie Harry launched a part-time solo career while helping with his recovery.
