Cuba based rap duo, Zona Franka, blends traditional rhythms with the grit and swagger of hip-hop and rap vocal phrasings. Their clever shout choruses create instant tropical dance classics using their unique self-titled "changui con flow" style.

Dime A [click here for full lyrics]

Like Paulito FG's version of Nek's "Laura", "Dime A" is timbafied cover of a European pop artist, in this case Spanish pop/rock star Kiko Veneno. [audio example 12] The result is short (3:58) but effective. Sombrilla only finds space for 3 guías, but they're all great, especially this one. [audio example 13]. The song was extended somewhat when it was part of the band's live repertoire for a brief period after the album was released, but we've yet to find a complete performance on tape. Let us know if you do! kevin (at) timba.com
