OBSESION is a pioneer Cuban Hip Hop group born on June 25, 1996 with the purpose of making hip hop a solid musical genre inside Cuban culture.

Now part of the vanguard of Cuban rap music; their lyrics define Cuba as a social being, and their texts range from love-in all its dimentions-to the most polemic of social and political issues. Comprised of husband and wife duo, Magia (MC) and El Tipo Este (mc and producer), Obsesión perfectly represents the revolutionary couple as equals in marriage, career and life.

Their well defined sound has caught the attention of many across the world, allowing Obsesion the priviledge of performing in the UK, France, Venezuela,

Canada and the US. In 2003, they embarked on a month-long tour of the United States, culminating in a histoical performance at the infamous Appolo theatre in New-York City, where they collaborated with The Roots. Obsesion also works on a social level with various community organizations in Cuba with whom they have held workshops in different cultural centres and jails. They are currently working on their third album, which promises to be an undeniable landmark not only in the Cuban music scene but also on an international level.
