NG La Banda is a Cuban musical group founded by flautist José Luis "El Tosco" Cortés. NG stands for nueva generación ('next generation'). NG La Banda is often credited with the creation of timba (a term coined by Cortés): the most important popular Cuban dance and music genre since the late 1980s.

La Bruja caused quite a scandal at the time and El Tosco was criticized for using the term "witch." Here is an electrifying performance provided Calixto Oviedo, NG's drummer during this period and king of the high-hat.
