Archive material and source history
Ultimos de Cuba formed in Havana in the early 2000s, led by singer-songwriter Osmany Sánchez. Their music draws from traditional Cuban son rhythms while addressing social themes, with songs like "Bolsas Negras" and "Mal Y Bien" reflecting this approach.
Their 2005 track "Bolsas Negras" gained attention for its portrayal of life in Havana's slums, using the image of black garbage bags as a symbol. The band's lyrics have sometimes drawn scrutiny from authorities who view them as politically sensitive.
They've released albums including "Callao," which blended son with hip-hop elements, and later works like "Agua Pa' Mi Gente" and "Siembra" that incorporated broader Afro-Cuban rhythms. Other songs in their catalog include "Crack," "El Ultimo Papa," and "Pesadilla 92."
The core lineup has included Sánchez on vocals and guitar, Yasel Calixto on vocals and percussion, Dayan Gutiérrez on bass, and Yordanis Álvarez on drums, though there have been some changes over time.
