Orishas is a Cuban hip-hop band formed in 1999 in Paris that combines contemporary rap with traditional Cuban sounds such as son and guaguancó. Their first album, A lo Cubano (2000), brought Cuban hip-hop to the international stage, followed by notable albums such as Emigrante (2002) and El Kilo (2005). In 2007, they collaborated with Calle 13 on "Pal Norte," which won the Latin Grammy for Best Urban Song.

After several years of hiatus, the group returned in 2016 and released Gourmet (2018), reaffirming their commitment to social criticism and cultural roots. With more than 750,000 albums sold in Europe, Orishas continues to be a benchmark in Latin hip-hop, bringing their message from Havana to the world.
