		Inventos embodies the true spirit of Hip Hop, which is to build something that is powerful and useful out of what is seemingly impossible.

		Papo Record, a rapper-producer highly regarded in the Cuban underground, is in the club tonight, scouting talent, while a group of raperos lingers near the John Lennon statue outside, relaxing with a pre-show blunt.
		Yet Cuban artists are now rapping about their unique reality, issues like the island's complex racial identity structure, particularly the experience of being not white or fl but mulatto, and the sex tourism many Cuban women and men resort to in order to bolster their living.
		Cuban raperos are playing a different game than U.S. hip-hop, where live musicianship has never been much of a factor (the Roots are a notable exception), and where the music has long dominated the mainstream.
