The song, "Mi Tierra" [My Land], by Cuban American artist, Gloria Estefan's third album of the same name, celebrates her Cuban roots.

Famed actor, rapper and producer, Alex Sanduga, was born in Havana, Cuba. Here is his famous 2013 single, "Déjala."

Orishas is the most famous Cuban band of recent years. They have achieved fame and glory all over Europe and Latin America. Even those who don’t understand their lyrics (sometimes hard enough even for Spanish speakers) can’t seem to keep their hips and shoulders still.

If Javier doesn’t get you swinging, swaying and stumbling over your two left feet with this tune, you’re at the wrong site! The trumpet is courtesy of the incomparable Arturo Sandoval, who we had the pleasure of seeing at the Blue Note a while back. A drunken and noisy Tom Jones showed up mid-set with full entourage, causing the fiery Sandoval to call for ¡cállate!
