Cuban hip-hop is far from an extensive genre, but if one crew is exemplary of the fusion, it’s Orishas. Since 1999, the three man group has been evolving from record to record, reflecting the success that brought them from underground fame in Cuba to international recognition. Their fifth album, Cosita Buena drops today, boasting a more refined sound and the next step in their style, which began incorporating conga, rumba, and Cuban rock styles early in their discography. Hip-hop manifests itself in many forms around the world, taking cues from local language and culture. Too often the product sounds as empty and homogeneous as the stuff we hear on American radio today, but if you’re looking for a unique international take on this global genre, Orishas can deliver.
