Kybsaym Montero

Kybsaym Montero came together in Havana, Cuba, with the singer-songwriter of the same name at the center. Their music drew from Cuban rhythms and pop, and they built a following locally before the song 'Corro a Tu Encuentro' reached a wider audience. That track's melody and lyrics connected with listeners and helped the band tour internationally.

As they worked, Kybsaym Montero moved through different styles, from boleros to reggaeton. That shift brought some critical praise but also drew criticism from listeners who preferred a more consistent sound. In 2016, they faced a plagiarism accusation over another song, 'Volver a Verte,' which led to a legal dispute and the track being pulled from streaming services. The band said they would work past that challenge.
