A Cuban man decided to test his Spanish girlfriend's musical knowledge with a unique challenge: guessing a selection of songs from the "reparto" genre, a popular urban style in Cuba. To the surprise of many, she not only identified the tracks but correctly named all six without hesitation, earning her boyfriend's praise: “She’s more Cuban than me!”
The amusing moment was shared on TikTok by the account @galicuba_, quickly going viral due to the ease with which she recognized Cuban reparto hits. Among the songs she identified were “Tacto que llegó el reparto” by Oniel Bebeshito, “Sazón de mulata” by Payaso X Ley, and “Nosotros” by L Kimii, Maffio, and Nacho, as well as other tracks that have become popular among Cuban youth.
The chemistry between the couple and the Spanish girlfriend's unexpected musical expertise have sparked hundreds of comments on social media, where many are celebrating the cultural blend and the reach of reparto music beyond Cuban borders.
“She’s more in tune than many Cubans,” one user remarked. Another joked, “Give her residency already; she knows more reparto songs than I do.”
