Raphy Pina, a pivotal figure in the reggaeton industry and partner of Natti Natasha, recently engaged in a lively conversation about the Cuban "reparto" genre with Puerto Rican content creator @kuzioficial—a fervent advocate for the genre on the island. This discussion has quickly gained traction across social media platforms.
Within hours, the video shared on TikTok and Instagram amassed over 146,000 views and garnered 30,200 likes, drawing comments from the very Cuban artists referenced in the dialogue.
Pina approached the topic with humility, openly admitting his limited knowledge. "I might be called ignorant for this, but I'm not really involved in music, so I wasn't aware," he confessed candidly. He mentioned discovering the genre through "Paciente," a collaboration between Ozuna, Kevincito El 13, and Dany Ome, released in April 2026. "It's a fantastic track," he acknowledged.
The Rise of Cuban Reparto
@kuzioficial wasted no time in educating him, explaining, "It's an entire generation. Like, 20 or 30 known artists, maybe." She then listed key performers such as Ja Rulay, Wampi, Kevincito, Dany Ome, Wow Popy, Dale Pututi, and Nesty.
She further verified that Miami-based reparto artists are already making waves in Puerto Rico, collaborating with local talents.
Cuban Artists React
The artists themselves were quick to respond in the comments. Dany Ome expressed pride, saying, "I'm proud when I hear this, my queen, when people know my song with the bear, proud to bring the whole genre this far." Ja Rulay thanked the interviewer, "I love what you do for reparto."
For months, @kuzioficial has been a vocal supporter of the genre from Puerto Rico. In a previous Instagram video that nearly hit 52,000 likes, she boldly predicted, "Reparto will overshadow dembow," citing its unique slang, dance style, and producers. In the caption of her latest video with Pina, she posed a question that challenges the Latin music industry: "Who can tell me the story of Cuban reparto the way Raphy Pina can recount reggaeton?"
The Future of Reparto
Pina concluded the discussion with a question that, coming from someone of his stature, signifies genuine curiosity rather than ignorance: "Where is this music thriving?" As "Dichávate" surpasses 100 million views on YouTube and collaborations with Ozuna, and now Wisin alongside Dany Ome and Kevincito, the genre is answering that question on its own.
