Havana Club partners with rapper Frenna

Pernod Ricard’s Cuban rum brand Havana Club has joined forces with rap artist Frenna, to launch a new limited edition bottle of Havana Club 7.

As part of the brand-new campaign, ‘A Toast to the Culture’, Havana Club and Frenna have worked with six up-and-coming artists to produce the limited edition bottle, alongside a music track and video as well as an oil portrait of Frenna.

The collaboration, which has been inspired by the parallels between the Cuban energy of the brand and Frenna’s Ghanaian-Dutch heritage has been designed by Amsterdam-based designer Julian Roebling.

The bottle launch, which “emulates the vibrancy of Frenna’s culture, heritage, and roots” features a label design with a gold colour scheme with Frenna’s famous ‘777’ logo alongside Ghanaian cultural symbols, such as an eagle and seven adinkra symbols signifying greatness, bravery, creativity, wisdom of the past, strength and hatred.

Anne Martin, global marketing director at Havana Club International said: “This partnership marks the next chapter in Havana Club’s series of successful collaborations with renowned artists and brands including Skepta, Bad Gyal and Daily Paper. We look forward to continuing to support promising creatives and recruit the rum drinkers of tomorrow, whilst driving relevance, credibility, and cultural connections.”

The limited edition Havana Club x Frenna bottle is now available in the Netherlands and Belgium at Gall & Gall, Drankdozijn and selected Belgian sneaker stores. The music video can be viewed below as well as via the Havana Club website.
