Young Ugandans Go Viral Dancing with Cuban Flag to Bebeshito's "Tacto que llegó el reparto"

A vibrant video featuring a group of Ugandan youth has taken social media by storm as they dance energetically to the popular Cuban track “Tacto que llegó el reparto” by Oniel Bebeshito, all while waving a Cuban flag. The clip, shared on the TikTok account @theafricansoul.01, has garnered thousands of views, reactions, and positive comments from users worldwide.

In the video, these young dancers, clad in brightly colored outfits and executing a flawless choreography, express their enthusiasm for Cuban urban music. This genre has been gaining traction in Africa, largely due to the influence of social media. The scene concludes with one of the dancers proudly holding the Cuban flag, symbolizing their admiration for the island and its musical culture.

The chosen song, “Tacto que llegó el reparto”, is part of the urban subgenre known as reparto. It has become increasingly popular among Cuban youth and is now crossing borders thanks to platforms like TikTok. Oniel Bebeshito, a leading figure in this movement, has previously expressed joy over the international reception of his music.

This isn’t the first instance where The African Soul, the group behind the viral video, has shown an affinity for Cuban culture. In earlier videos, they have been seen dancing to other popular reparto tracks, prompting a wave of supportive comments from the Cuban public, who appreciate this cultural gesture amid the country's political and social isolation.

The viral success of this content underscores the expanding reach of Cuban urban music, resonating with youth from regions like Uganda, where dance and rhythm serve as bridges connecting distant cultures.
