Idea Books Studio Humano’s Métele Caña Book

Studio Humano’s newest photo book ‘Métele Caña’ documents the treasured urban music scene in Cuba, from the day-to-day of reggaeton artists to the going-out routines of the Cuban youth.

Through a non-traditional lens, this book captures the energy and excitement of young people in the current reggaeton sphere (also known as reparto, cubaton and trapton), alongside the country’s rich musical history. Reggaeton as a genre first emerged in Panama/Puerto Rico during the late 1980s as a blend of the Jamaican styles of reggae and dancehall with Latin sounds and elements of hip-hop.
