The musical power couple celebrated their five years of marriage in Havana, Cuba.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé enjoyed a Communist State of Mind on Thursday, celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary in Cuba.

The “Empire State of Mind” Brooklyn rapper and his “Crazy in Love” crooner wife were mobbed by starstruck fans as they toured Old Havana wearing dark sunglasses and vacation gear. Beyoncé also wore an eye-catching braided beehive hairdo.

The couple looked happy as they walked the streets of Old Havana with bodyguards in tow.

But the Cuban government-run website CubiSi called the celebrity visit a tourist trip, the Associated Press reported.

Jay and Bey appeared to be having a blast. The newmom stepped out in flats, a vibrant patterned shirt and skirt and the new towering hairstyle. She posed with schoolkids while her music mogul hubbie, sporting a classic Cuban straw hat, a blue polo shirt, plaid shorts and white Nike hightop sneakers, puffed on — what else? — a Cuban cigar.

Beyonce took snapshots while enjoying her anniversary getaway with her husband of five years, Jay-Z. The couple have one daugther, Blue Ivy, together.

Their day in the sun followed a Wednesday night date at a Havana hot spot, where the power couple caused quite a stir. Accompanied by their mothers, they dined on Cuban creole fish, chicken, black beans and rice at La Guarida restaurant.

Their presence attracted so many well-wishers that police were forced to step in to keep the masses swooning on Bey at bay. When the crowd started chanting Beyoncé’s name, she stepped onto a balcony and waved.
