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.

Best Charanga Habanera Group

EXTRA QUESTION: WHICH CHARANGA HABANERA DO YOU PREFER?

We asked people to specify which time period for "Best Band". Some people did, but not enough, so we put all the votes together for each band, regardless of the time period. However, Timba fans love to debate the relative merits of the various versions of Charanga Habanera, so for fun, we've added this extra bonus category to the final vote.

2. 1998-2000 - Tirso Duarte, Aned Mota, Dantes Cardosa, Noel Díaz
