Top 10 must-see Minnesota music videos this week

Tufawon, I Self Devine, and Yrak Saenz - "Quiero Volar"

Illuminous 3's Tufawon recently flew to Cuba with I Self Devine as part of the US Cuba Artist Exchange. Their travels and adventures while down there will comprise part of the forthcoming documentary, Closer Than You Think. And, in addition to that worthwhile project, the two MC's also got together with Cuban hip-hop musicians, Yrak Saenz and Mo aka the Magician, and they recorded a track together, "Quiero Volar," and made a video for it before they had to come back to the States. The clip gives you a look at the streets of Cuba, as well as the flavor of their music scene, which blends well with the Twin Cities flow of Tufawon and Chaka. They forged some lasting friendships with the people they met in Cuba, who will be coming to Minnesota in June to continue to foster that creative partnership.
