Sometimes the best introduction to a musical movement is a dance step. In a Billboard Latin reel from Cafecito Con, Cuban artist Oniel Bebeshito demonstrates “canillando,” introducing viewers to a basic reparto move.

The moment puts the focus on the people, rhythms, and movement behind the music. It also gives audiences an inviting way to connect with a sound that has found an enthusiastic following in Cuban communities and beyond.

In Jessica Roiz’s accompanying Billboard feature, Bebeshito discusses reparto’s growing visibility, his friendship with the late El Taiger, and meeting Bad Bunny. The September interview also looks at the genre’s place in that year’s Billboard Latin Music Week programming.

The short dance lesson captures the energy that makes reparto a shared experience: a beat, a step, and a community ready to move.
