Cumbiafrica – Song of the Day

By Indi Rivero

HAVANA TIMES – We bring you SHEEL SHEEL (Drone Song) performed by the Colombian group Cumbiafrica, along with Gaza Birds Singing, Ahmed Muin AbuAmbsha, and Ale Kuma. (May 2026)

Is it possible to transform a sound of war into a song of life? In a music school amidst the bombings, Ahmed Muin AbuAmsha asks his students to sing over the sound of military drones.


Havana Times Song of the Day features artists mostly, but not only, born in Latin America and the Caribbean. Additionally, artists influenced by Latin American rhythms/sounds and/or are of Latin American heritage but born elsewhere. Jazz is another feature of our posts.
