Somos lo que hay (entero) - Team Cuba

1990s1998Rareyoutube

On May 15, 1998 Los mejores de la timba, Team Cuba, played a concert at El Capitolio in Havana. Team Cuba was the brainchild of Juan Formell who wanted to bring together the most successful bands of the day in a grand concert. The bands he chose were: Adalberto Álvarez y Su Son, La Charanga Habanera, Manolín el Médico de La Salsa, NG La Banda, Issac Delgado y Su Grupo, Paulito FG y Su Élite and Los Van Van. Each band performed 2-3 of their hits. Musical directors were José Luis Cortés "El Tosco" and Joaquin Betancourt. Formell wrote a theme song for the occasion called "Somos lo que hay" . The video quality is poor, but the audio is OK and the energy pouring off the stage is explosive! For those of us who missed this event, this is an important historical document. Enjoy! Somos negros de pelo lacio y mulatos de pelo rizao, rubios con los ojos claros que no son blanco, eso son jabao. Somos lo que hay, lo que baila La Habana, la timba cubana, la pachanga y la sofocación. Y como poco a poco se empezó a mezclar el español con el africano nació el criollo, nació el cubano y esta timba que es para gozar. Somos lo que hay, lo que baila La Habana, la timba cubana, la pachanga y la sofocación. Y como no se sabe cuándo fue que Dios la clave nos regaló, la trampa y la magia del 3 mas 2 que nos hizo tan especiales. Somos lo que hay, lo que baila La Habana, la timba cubana, la pachanga y la sofocación. Llegó mi team con swing, qué swing mi team Coro 1: Team, que Team, somos lo mejor de la timba, el Team Cuba. Somos la gente que la pone dura, esto es tremendo team que team, qué swing! Coro 2: Somos negro, mulato y jabao. Coro 3: Aquí están, los que batean 400.
