The rhythmic, tropical sounds of Cuban music and cultural swagger of Hip Hop mesh beautifully when long time Cuban urban group Orishas blends them.
The group formed in 1999, combining traditional sounds of Cuba, precise Spanish raps and American Hip Hop, and they were once named one of the Best 10 Bands On Earth by Time magazine.
The video is a remarkable montage of sweeping landscape shots, glimpses of the colorful Havana while featuring some of the other talented musicians from the country like Pedrito Martinez, Issac Delgado, Leoni Torres, Buena Fe and more. The music is lead by a beautiful guitar and soft congas while the many voices sweep over the production both rapping and singing.
“Cuba Isla Bella” is a great homecoming for the group and will help excite fans to see them when they embark on their first tour in seven years, starting in August.
