Obsesión [Havana Cultura]

They may be the conscience of Cuban's hip-hop scene, but Alexey Rodríguez Mola and Magia Lopez are far too modest to see themselves that way. Never mind that they've shared a stage with The Roots, and that their fan base includes Harry Belafonte, Afrika Bambaata and Mos Def. Leave aside their stand-out track on the "Cuban Hip-Hop All Stars" compilation. Ignore their starring performance in a 2005 documentary that follows them from open-mike sessions at Cuban house parties ("bonches") to their history-making, against-all-odds appearance at New York's Apollo Theatre. Obsesión, as this husband-wife duo call themselves, prove that humility doesn't have to be incompatible with hip-hop stardom. http://havana-cultura.com/en/music/ob...
