The original was years ahead of its time in production quality. One of the best disco recordings ever with the on-fire energy of the soaring power-vocals, the dramatic piano solo's, heralding trumpets, the sweeping violins and the beat being so punchy on the 2nd & 4th beat in the groove (very unusual in 1978). I've often said that if this song was called "Maria" instead of "Cuba", where people could form an emotional connection to the song as there are millions of Maria's living around the planet, the success of the song would have been much greater, an all-time classic (which it is). There could be a theatre play written to this song, like the Jets and the Sharks falling in love with two gorgeous latina 19 year old twins who lead both gangs on in a merry dance. I saw one of those 'twins' on a summer 2009 afternoon at an Arco gas station in Santa Monica on Pico & 4th putting gas in her convertible car wearing hot pants, high heels, long flowing hair, full cherry-red lips and that look of complete disinterest in the mayhem she was causing with every male in view of the moment, a real life Cha Cha DeGregorio - Great work DJ DiscoCat on reigniting this masterpiece to 13 mins and all those memories. Thank you.
I was on the dancefloor at Hula's, in Waikiki when the DJ dropped this into the mix and the spacious floor suddenly became tightly packed as sardines - a true indication of the rhythm calling us out. Music is the great equalizer for me, suddenly we all belong and we commune the oneness across the room and to the fringes. Effervescent mix DJDCV2!

The closest I've ever gotten to Cuba is Key West, yet this track time & time again makes me feel as if I've been there. I'll settle for Miami if that's okay because I've never been there either.
I discovered the Gibson Brothers last year on TH-cam, and I LOVE this song!!! There is also a video of this song on TH-cam as well. I also really like their song called "Ooh! What a Life. It is another great dance tune!!
Came here from A 1979 movie clip (North Dallas 40) a quick clip from party seen that I never heard fully till I finally found it only on (TH-cam)today...love it even more..
DJ~DISCO KAT! Had to come back,this sound is an obsession, ( A musical one!)Stopped counting the times I danced "The Hustle" to this one!! Those were the days, this one brought the best moves out of You, whether you wanted them or not!! 💃💜💥🎼🎼😊😊💯DJ~ DISCO KAT,bringing the magic 💯% and more!! Thank you,keep up the amazing work!!

I guess it depended on where in the U.S. one lived, because it definitely did not bypass this American! This song was very hot in the NY/NJ metro area(where I'm from), and my friends and I (we were about 9 years old)danced to this every time it played at backyard bbqs, block parties and on the radio. I loved all the Gibson Brothers music, thanks for the flashback to summer in the 70s as a kid.
