Reparto is Cuba’s hidden musical gem that today is getting its long overdue international spotlight.
Powered by its blend of reggaeton, hip hop, timba, rumba and the signature Cuban clave, reparto (named after the barrios or housing projects in Cuba) has captivated the musical taste buds of people around the globe in recent years.
Part of that success is due to the current viral song, “Dichavate,” by Ya Ice Dilan, Helabusador and Rey Tony that has amassed nearly 10 million video creations on TikTok alone since its release date last Christmas Eve.
“It’s a song that if you’re sad, it serves you in your sadness; if you’re happy, it serves you in your happiness,” Helabusador previously told Billboard. “It is a very emotional song. It has something that connects. The song has magic.”

That precise magic has also connected with artists such as Maluma, who reacted to the cheeky and provocative reparto track on TikTok: “Que hp vicio,” he said, which translates to “what a hell of an addiction.”
But long before today’s “Dichavate” craze, reparto music traces back to the mid-2000s thanks to its first exponents such as the late Elvis Manuel (who tragically drowned in 2008 as he migrated to the U.S. by raft), Adonis MC, El Uniko and, most notably, Chocolate MC, who ultimately blessed the movement as “reparto.”
Since 2018 — when public WiFi hotspots were made more accessible on the island — a new wave of artists there have used social media to bring to the forefront the genre that was once considered “reggaetón of the poor,” but today represents the sound of modern-day Cuba.
