Cuba (song)
"Cuba" is a 1978 song by the Gibson Brothers taken from their album of the same name. It was the group's first charting single, reaching number 41 in the UK upon its original release; however, following the success of their follow-up top 10 hit songs "Ooh, What a Life" and "Que Sera Mi Vida (If You Should Go)", it was re-released in 1980 where it reached number 12 in the UK with "Better Do It Salsa". However, its chart performance did not improve in the U.S. due in large part to the anti Disco Backlash in the States at the time.

gollark: I wonder if autorefreshing the new releases would make them hatch faster.
gollark: I'm not sure whether I should stick the "current" ones in with my xenowyrm group or not.
gollark: I got rid of a CB rift wyrm to get the current one, but it's probably worth it.
gollark: I seem to have just managed to grab one of the current ones. Who knows what'll happen to it.
gollark: Interesting.
