"RAGGAMORFA": A native genre of Cuba

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


Hello everyone.
I would like to show you a series of short videos of the process of building a musical album based on covers. It is nothing more than romantic songs by international artists such as Cristian Castro, Andy & Lucas, Alejandro Sanz, Huey Dumbar & DLG but on the rhythmic bases of "RAGGAMORFA" or "REPARTO"
"RAGGAMORFA" or "REPARTO" is a completely CUBAN musical genre that was born in mid-2004 in the southern area of Havana, rather in the marginal neighborhoods where people live "A PIE". In its beginnings it was fused with the reggaeton that came from Central America, but over time it changed its sound by incorporating the 2+3 clave and the traditional drum pedal (bass drum, snare drum and cymbals), all this mixed with electronic sounds and giving it the final sound touch by adding the guaguancó, chekeré and cowbell drums. It is a genre generally listened to by Cuban youth, although not so young people have made it their musical preference. Artists such as MAWELL and his song "TRIPLE M" and BEBESHITO with his song "UN MILLÓN EN EL BANCO" with more than 100 million plays on Spotify and more than 50 million views on YouTube, are the ones who have brought this genre to the world public arena. A historical review courtesy of Luixo Torreblanca. Enjoy them.
