US rapper Big Freedia still dreams of Havana

"I'm still dreaming of Havana," US rapper Big Freedia, the Queen of Bounce, said while expressing gratitude for the warm welcome she received during her recent trip to Cuba, in a video circulating on social media on Thursday.

Freedia posted on Instagram “the wonderful people I met there” and recalled the opportunities to connect with the audience during her performances and a fashion show “with amazing Havana designers¨.

“Thank you again for welcoming me,” the award-winning New Orleans artist and influencer said.

Freedia performed at the famous Cuban Art Factory in mid-November.

During her stay in Cuba, the public knew the musical work of the hip-hop singer, defending racial and gender equality and the rights of the LGBTQI+ community.

Rooted in the southern United States, New Orleans bounce emerged in the early 90s of the 20th century and is a more sedate musical variety of hip-hop.
