PAUZA - Yo Soy Cubano

PAUZA bring Cuban heritage to the global club floor with ‘Yo Soy Cubano’.

Get Physical Music welcomes back Havana’s celebrated duo PAUZA, Paula Fernández and Zahira Sánchez, with ‘Yo Soy Cubano’, a powerful Afro-Latin House reinterpretation of a Cuban classic. This new release is a tribute to their roots and a fresh injection of Latin club energy for today’s dancefloors.

Originally penned by The Chakachas and immortalised in global consciousness via Mighty Dub Katz’s 1995 hit ‘Magic Carpet Ride’, the track’s unforgettable hook is woven into PAUZA’s signature sound: a percussion-heavy tribal groove, rich with the textures of Havana’s street rhythms, layered over a deep and hypnotic house framework. With each bar, the track moves between cultural homage and modern club weapon, perfectly balancing authenticity and dancefloor drive.

Since their formation, PAUZA have built a unique profile in the electronic world by fusing house music with folkloric Afro-Cuban influences. Their ‘Cuba Get Physical’ series in 2022 shone a spotlight on emerging Cuban talents, underscoring their mission to connect the island’s sound to global audiences. Their past success includes the chart-topping ‘Muy Bien’ ft. Malone, which held the #1 spot on Beatport and Traxsource for four months, as well as appearances alongside Swedish House Mafia, Blond:ish, Mochakk, Hugel, and RÜFÜS DU SOL.

With over 25 million Spotify streams and press coverage from Rolling Stone, DJ Mag, Los Angeles Times, and Vice, PAUZA continue to push boundaries while staying rooted in their Cuban identity. ‘Yo Soy Cubano’ captures exactly what they do best: blending the pulse of Havana with a sharp, contemporary club aesthetic, delivering a track that’s as much a celebration of culture as it is an irresistible invitation to move.
