PAUZA bring Cuban heritage to the global club floor with ‘Yo Soy Cubano’

Get Physical Music welcomes back Havana’s celebrated duo PAUZA (Paula Fernández and Zahira Sánchez), with ‘Yo Soy Cubano’, a striking Afro-Latin House reinterpretation of a Cuban classic. The track is both a heartfelt tribute to their roots and a powerful addition to the contemporary electronic scene.

Originally written by The Chakachas and later immortalised through Mighty Dub Katz’s 1995 hit ‘Magic Carpet Ride’, the song’s unmistakable hook has now been transformed into a vibrant club record. PAUZA infuse the timeless motif with tribal percussion, hypnotic grooves, and textures inspired by Havana’s streets, crafting a sound that bridges cultural homage with modern dancefloor impact.

Since forming, PAUZA have stood out for their fusion of Afro-Cuban influences with house and electronic music. Their Cuba Get Physical series in 2022 introduced emerging Cuban talent to international audiences, further cementing their role as cultural ambassadors. Breakthrough single ‘Muy Bien’ featuring Malone hit #1 on Beatport and Traxsource, holding the spot for four months, while their profile has grown through support slots alongside Swedish House Mafia, Blond:ish, Mochakk, Hugel, and RÜFÜS DU SOL.

With over 25 million Spotify streams and recognition from outlets such as Rolling Stone, DJ Mag, Vice, and the LA Times, PAUZA are among the most exciting acts pushing Latin-rooted sounds into the global spotlight. ‘Yo Soy Cubano’ is a perfect snapshot of what makes them unique: a seamless blend of heritage, rhythm, and contemporary club drive.
