Cuban Man Sets Social Media Ablaze with Dance Moves in the Gym: "Everything Feels Amazing..."

Thursday, May 14, 2026 by Emily Vargas

A Cuban living in the Canary Islands has become the latest sensation, going viral for his dynamic dance moves to the tune of "Dame un AAA" by Ya Ice Dilan and Bebeshito, performed right in the middle of a gym.

The 55-second video, uploaded on TikTok by Maykel Chong (@maykelchong) this Wednesday, captures the young man confidently busting out his moves among weights and exercise machines, unfazed by his surroundings.

The video's caption speaks volumes: "With whose permission?" Chong wrote, accompanied by hashtags like #alegriaquenuncafalte, #productocubano, and #reparteate.

The background track, "Dame un AAA (Tita)," was released on March 27, 2026, under Planet Records / JipMusic Global, produced by DJ Honda and Roberto Ferrante. The official music video, directed by Freddy Loons with a Mad Max-inspired urban aesthetic, garnered 750,000 views on YouTube within weeks and was hailed as one of the most talked-about releases in the Cuban reparto genre this year.

The Global Spread of Cuban Reparto

This isn't the first time Cubans in the Canary Islands have turned everyday spaces into impromptu dance floors. In March 2025, two Cubans went viral for dancing in heels on a treadmill in a gym, moving to the beat of "Tacto que llegó el reparto," also by Bebeshito. Just a month later, in April 2025, young Cubans were seen dancing reparto inside a bus in Tenerife, coining the phrase: "No matter the place, play reparto, and it heats up the spot."

The trend isn't confined to Spain. This week, Ya Ice Dilan led an impromptu dance session at Rome's airport to the tune of "Tienes Remix," amassing over 110,000 plays on SoundCloud.

Reparto’s International Milestones

By 2026, Cuban reparto, an urban subgenre rooted in timba and rumba, has achieved significant international milestones. Dany Ome and Kevincito El 13 recorded "Paciente" with Ozuna, marking a historic moment for the genre. Bebeshito had already made waves at the Billboard Latin Music Week in 2025.

The Cuban diaspora in the Canary Islands, a region with deep historical ties to Cuba, remains a vibrant hub for this cultural expansion, bringing the energy of reparto to every corner, even the gym.
