A young Cuban has captured attention on social media after sharing a video of himself dancing in the middle of Gran Vía in Madrid, one of the most iconic locations in the Spanish capital.

The video, posted on his TikTok account @iamcubaa_, shows the Cuban alongside another young man, seemingly Peruvian, dancing to the rhythm of the song "Bebeshito," while the iconic Schweppes sign lights up in the background.

The video reads: "When congrí rice and ceviche come together, it's craziness, my love."

In the video description, the creator added a message of unity between the two countries: “Cuba and Peru, we must come together so that distribution continues to grow, not fight each other.”

The gesture of the young Cuban has been celebrated by hundreds of users, who highlighted the energy and joy of Caribbean urban dance. Among the most popular comments, phrases such as can be read:

"The two do it well, but obviously the Cuban stands out." "They do it so well. I like this, united by the sharing and not divided," or "Isn't it true that Cuban flavor is everywhere," among others.

El reparto, a musical genre that originated in the popular neighborhoods of Cuba, continues to gain traction on platforms like TikTok, where an increasing number of young people from various nationalities are joining challenges and fusions that celebrate rhythm, creativity, and Latin identity.
