Dirotta su Cuba is an Italian funk-pop-jazz group formed in the late 1980s in Florence. They are also referred to as I Dirotta su Cuba.
The band was founded in 1989 by Rossano Gentili and Stefano De Donato, joined in 1990 by the singer Simona Bencini.[1][2] Their record debut happened in 1994, with the single "Gelosia" followed by their debut album Dirotta su Cuba.[1] The group entered the main competition at the 1997 Sanremo Music Festival, with the song "È andata così" for which they were accompanied by the Belgian jazz musician Toots Thielemans.[1] In 2000 De Donato left the band, followed two years later by Simona Bencini, replaced by the vocalist Marquica.[1] After some sporadic appearances, the original line-up officially reunited in 2012.[2]
