Cuba Libre (Moncho song)

"Cuba Libre" is a song by the Spanish rapper Moncho, known for his work within the hip-hop en català scene (hip-hop in Catalan). The song, released in 2007 as part of the album "Hecho, Es Simple," is a socially conscious track that explores themes of immigration, identity, and the experiences of marginalized communities, particularly those of Latin American descent living in Catalonia and Spain.

The lyrics of "Cuba Libre" utilize the symbolic association of the "Cuba Libre" cocktail (rum and cola) to represent a mixture of cultures and the realities faced by immigrants navigating a new society. Moncho uses wordplay and metaphors to critique social inequalities, discrimination, and the challenges of cultural integration. The song is notable for its use of the Catalan language, which further emphasizes the themes of cultural identity and belonging within the specific Catalan context. It stands as a prominent example of politically charged hip-hop that addresses issues relevant to the Catalan and immigrant experience in Spain.
