==Edition 1 participation ==
Cuba's first and only participation in Theo's Song Contest was edition 1, where the contest was held in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. It's national broadcaster Cubavisión chose the song, which still broadcasts the contest to this day. 
The broadcaster selected the song "Don't Go Yet" performed by Cuban-American singer Camila Cabello. It is a latin influenced, latin pop and tropical love song. Cabello sings about being with their love and never wanting to be apart from them. The song was accompanied with a flamenco guitar and luscious ad-libs. The song performed 15th on the second semi-final, and performed 7th in the Grand Final. Although the success in the Grand Final, the country has never participated since. This is due to the fact that the Cuban government did not think that spending their money on Theo's Song Contest was a necessity for their money.
To this day, Cuba is the only country in the Caribbean to have participated in the contest
