Hey, mi musica,
Represent, Represent, Cuba,
Orishas underground de Havana
Represent, Represent, Cuba,
Hey, tu musica
Te quiero Havana,
The rhythym' pumping in my heart,
In La Rosa we dance to the tempo of the love, boy,
Your hip's making a shift,
and you fall deep into its spell,
let your body talk, till voice in you says,
say baby
I'm the one you find deep in that move,
that drives your body and your senses,
I'm the heat inside,
when rhythym and love collide,
Cuba, let me introduce myself
Cubaaaaaaaaaaa!

Ven que te quiero cantar de corazón asi
La historia de mis raíces
Rumba son y guaguanco todo mezclado
Pa' que lo bailes tu
Mira, ay quien no baila en la habana
I'm the one you find deep in that move,
that drives your body and your senses,
I'm the heat inside,
when rhythym and love collide,
Cuba, let me introduce myself

Move your body, body,
Move your body, body
Bring down your last defence
Feel your innocence
Slip into the light,
Baby hold on tight
Bring down your last defence
Feel your innocence
Slip into the light,

About This Song
"Represent, Cuba" is a passionate celebration of Cuban cultural identity and musical heritage that blends traditional Afro-Cuban rhythms with contemporary hip-hop elements. The song serves as both a declaration of pride and a bridge between Cuba's rich musical past and its modern diaspora, with Orishas positioning themselves as ambassadors of Havana's underground scene. The lyrics express deep love for Cuban roots through references to rumba, son, and guaguancó-foundational genres that shaped Latin music-while inviting listeners to dance and connect with this heritage. Musically, the track fuses rap verses with Latin percussion and melodic hooks, creating an infectious crossover sound that made Cuban culture accessible to international audiences. The collaboration with Heather Headley and its inclusion on a Hollywood soundtrack helped introduce Orishas' unique Afro-Cuban hip-hop to mainstream pop culture, making it a significant moment in Latin music's global expansion.
