cuban boys

the cuban boys are a british band and production team , currently composed of skreen b and ricardo autobahn ; the band formerly also included b.l. underwood -lrb- `` blu '' -rrb- and jenny mclaren -lrb- autobahn 's sister -rrb- .
their music is characterised by fast electronic beats , heavy reliance upon samples and the repetition of the words `` the cuban boys '' in the background of many of their tracks .
they achieved success after being aired on john peel 's radio 1 show with sample-heavy dance tracks and cut-ups and were responsible for the hit single `` cognoscenti vs. intelligentsia '' which was released through emi .
