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.

The Cuban band Orishas went all the way from starving artists to well fed ambassadors of Latin Hip Hop. Let’s listen in as even Spaniards ask for some explanation of the Cuban slang and cultural references found in the song “El Kilo.”

This time, Henry and Naomi offer us a glimpse into their traditional Cuban dance show, including performances of such dances as Yoruba, Cuban son, salsa casino, and more!

Meet Henry and Naomi, who represent the Cuban booth at the International Countries Fair in Fuengirola, Málaga, Spain. In this video, they will tell us about some very typical things from Cuba, such as its dances, festive folks, food, and, of course, the spectacular mojitos!

¿Qué bolá? That’s ¿Qué pasa? (What’s Up?) in Havana, where your “homeboy” is your “monina,” your “consorte,” or simply ‘asere.’ Here we find musical giants Orishas back in the old barrio of Vedado.
