Orishas is making a comeback…

The Cuban hip-hop group that pioneered a distinctly Cuban style with international appeal and opened a window to the world on the urban music scene in Havana, has announced they are reuniting to make an album to be released in 2016.

“We are making the first single from our new album,” Yotuel Romero, the Orishas frontman who has since gone on to compose hits for Ricky Martin and other Latin artists, posted on Facebook on Christmas Eve. “…The Gods are back my people!!!!!”

Yotuel, known by his first name, Hiram Riverí Medina, called Ruzzo Medina, and Roldán González Rivero formed the Latin Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated group in 1999 in Paris, where they were all living at the time.

They released the revelatory album A Lo Cubano in 2000, and followed it up with three other albums and a retrospective compilation album before splitting up in 2010.

The trio updated their once stagnant Orishas Facebook page over the holiday with a new photo of the trio recording in Havana.
