The 2026 Super Bowl halftime show will be etched in the memory of\u00a0Latin\u00a0Americans for a long time. For 13 unforgettable minutes, Benito Antonio Mart\u00ednez Ocasio\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Bad Bunny\u00a0\u2014\u00a0gave us goosebumps with\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0performance<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u202fpermeated from beginning to end with symbols of our\u00a0Latino\u00a0culture: the child asleep\u00a0on the chairs during the party, the wedding, the sugarcane field, the shaved ice, the blackouts, the diverse and irreverent\u00a0Latino\u00a0bodies taking over the party in someone else\u2019s home.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All of this in a context\u00a0where\u00a0hiding that\u00a0Latino culture\u00a0has become, for many, a way to survive, to avoid deportations, family\u00a0separations\u00a0and persecution in a country where almost half of the migrants come from\u00a0Latin\u00a0America and the Caribbean.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the door of\u00a0\u201cLa Casita\u201d\u00a0opens and Benito walks part of the path that leads to the truck where he will perform\u00a0\u201cEoO\u201d\u00a0(<\/span>Deb\u00ed\u00a0tirar\u00a0m\u00e1s\u00a0fotos<\/span><\/i>, 2025), the camera makes its way to\u00a0<\/span>Bersil\u00a0Iglesias<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u202f(Havana, September 15, 1999). Benito is close, but it is the Cuban woman who commands the frame with just a few seconds of dancing while\u00a0\u201cGasolina,\u201d\u00a0the reggaeton anthem of the 2000s, plays in the background\u00a0\u2014\u00a0a song she herself danced to countless times when she still lived in Cuba.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat song means so much to the\u00a0Latino\u00a0community.\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0danced and\u00a0sung\u00a0it at the top of my lungs since I was a child. To know that at that moment I\u00a0represented\u00a0all the\u00a0Latino\u00a0women who\u00a0\u2018want more gasoline\u2019\u2026I still\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0believe it,\u201d\u00a0Bersil\u00a0told\u00a0<\/span>OnCuba<\/span><\/b>, her voice filled with emotion, in a WhatsApp conversation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bersil\u2019s\u00a0face is now etched in our memories. We Cubans, who took pride in watching her dance and bring all her flair to the camera in those brief\u00a0moments, know her name and where to find her on social media. But before meeting Benito at the Super Bowl,\u00a0Bersil\u00a0had already spent years building her career in the world of dance and entertainment. Her appearance during the halftime show of one of the world\u2019s most famous sporting events could mark a turning point between her\u00a0previous\u00a0trajectory and a new chapter to come.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She arrived in the United States in 2004 and almost gave up dancing, driven more by her parents\u2019\u00a0desire than her own\u00a0\u2014\u00a0that she finish her studies in Criminology.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Her family\u2019s story shares both hardships and triumphs with that of many other Cuban families who emigrated to the land of promised dreams, and\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0something\u00a0Bersil\u00a0hasn\u2019t\u00a0forgotten.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs an immigrant and the daughter of immigrants, I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0take any opportunity that comes my way lightly, much less this one. That night I\u00a0wasn\u2019t\u00a0alone on that stage: those who came before me, those who are here\u00a0today\u00a0and those who will join me on this journey were with me. It was an honor to\u00a0represent\u00a0what I struggled to see on the big stages during my childhood. I hope that all Afro-Latino\u00a0girls around the world can see themselves reflected in this and know that there is a place for them too. May they fully occupy it,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>she wrote<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on her Instagram profile alongside a picture of herself holding her flag, the Cuban flag.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How and when did you discover that dance was your calling?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s\u00a0hard to say exactly how and when. Since I was a child in Cuba, my house was always filled with all kinds of music, and my father was the life of every family party: he would get all my aunts dancing, from salsa to Boney M hits.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My first classes were in Cuban folklore at age three, and I started dancing flamenco in Miami at eleven. Although I discovered years later that dance is not only my passion but my purpose,\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0always had rumba in my veins and a love of art in my heart for as long as I can remember.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where and how did your training begin?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0say that my artistic training took place in Cuba. And I say unfortunately because I know that my island is incredibly talented; so much so that, even with the difficulties, Cuban art continues to reach the rest of the world after all these years. Although I\u00a0couldn\u2019t\u00a0train there, my first dance teacher was\u00a0Idmaray\u00a0Breuil, principal dancer with the\u00a0<\/span>Lizt\u00a0Alfonso<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>Ballet<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0for several years. Much of her\u00a0methodology\u00a0was inspired by how the famous Cuban ballet company trained.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What dance styles have you\u00a0trained\u00a0throughout your career?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Actually, there\u2019s\u00a0little I\u00a0haven\u2019t\u00a0trained, even if only once. I feel that the best thing we can do as movement artists is to become cultured and versatile in the language of dance. Throughout my career,\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0trained in hip-hop, house, dancehall, jazz, contemporary, flamenco, Afro styles,\u00a0Latino\u00a0styles\u2026and the list keeps growing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When did you emigrate to the United States? What was that process like on a personal and professional level?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I emigrated to the United States at the age of four with my parents and grandmother. My family was already looking to leave the island due to political interference in my mother\u2019s career; she was a pharmacist at the time. Then my father won\u00a0the visa\u00a0lottery\u00a0\u2014\u00a0which in Cuba we called the \u201cBombo\u201d\u00a0\u2014\u00a0that granted legal visas to the United States. They both took advantage of that opportunity, and we\u00a0started from scratch\u00a0in Miami in 2004. I will always be grateful for all the sacrifices my parents made; without them, none of this would have been possible.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you arrived, what were the main challenges in entering the world of dance and entertainment?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel that my biggest challenge\u00a0\u2014\u00a0and at the same time, my greatest strength\u00a0\u2014\u00a0has always been my physical appearance.\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a06 feet tall, have curly Afro hair and am a Black woman. I very rarely saw girls or women who looked like me in the dance world.\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0had to work hard on my mental state during times when\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0felt isolated or rejected by an industry that, even today,\u00a0remains\u00a0attached to traditional ideals in a modern world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Was there ever a moment when you thought about quitting or changing\u00a0course? What\u00a0made\u00a0you\u00a0hold on\u00a0during the most\u00a0difficult times?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes.\u00a0When I started university, I stopped dancing to focus on my studies in Criminology and Education.\u00a0Many children of immigrants are taught that education always comes first. Although I had my family\u2019s support with dance, I\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0see how I could turn it into a real profession. I became very depressed during that first year of university and,\u00a0before starting my second year, I decided that art and dance were the only things I\u00a0couldn\u2019t\u00a0leave behind. Today, in addition to my professional career in the business world, I have a degree in dance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How has your experience as an immigrant influenced your artistic identity and the way you present yourself on stage today?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My experience as an immigrant and the Cuban culture I carry within me are present in everything I do artistically and in how I present myself on stage. I\u2019m not afraid to intertwine what I learn today with what has been with me since I was born in Havana: from how I dress in rehearsals, to the hip movements I add to the choreography or feeling that all of Cuba is with me every time I step onto a stage.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before the Super Bowl, what do you consider to be the most important moments or projects of your professional career?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before the Super Bowl, one of my favorite projects was the campaign I filmed with Agent Provocateur in 2022. It filled me with pride that Cuban beauty was highlighted globally. I also fondly remember shoots and videos that allowed me to further explore acting, such as\u00a0\u201c<\/span>XQ\u00a0te\u00a0pones\u00a0as\u00ed<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u201d\u00a0by Feid with Yandel, and\u00a0<\/span>\u201cHands on me\u201d<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0by Jason Derulo with Meghan Trainor.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout your career,\u00a0you\u2019ve\u00a0also worked with major\u00a0Latino\u00a0artists,\u00a0<\/span><\/b>like\u00a0Jennifer Lopez<\/span><\/b><\/a>. What have those collaborations meant to you, and what did you learn from them?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Working with\u00a0Latino\u00a0artists always feels different because it becomes personal. They remind me of when I was a little girl dreaming from my living room every time I saw them on TV.\u00a0I\u2019d\u00a0look at my mom with wide eyes and tell her that one day I was going to do that too. I never knew\u00a0how, but I knew it would happen. Working with them is a feeling\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0hard to\u00a0explain:\u00a0they remind me that anything is possible.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How did you receive the news that you would be\u00a0participating\u00a0in the Super Bowl halftime show with Bad Bunny?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The news came to me unexpectedly. When I joined the dance troupe, along with five other\u00a0Latino\u00a0dancers from Miami, they had already been rehearsing for weeks with more than 140 dancers. They called us because they were developing camera moments and wanted performers who could authentically\u00a0represent\u00a0Latino\u00a0culture.\u00a0That\u2019s\u00a0how the\u00a0\u201cGasolina\u201d\u00a0moment was born. Everything happened so\u00a0fast\u00a0and we had to learn the entire show in just a few days, but we pulled it off. My heartfelt thanks to the choreography team\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Charm\u00a0La\u2019Donna, Karina Ortiz, Jovanni\u00a0Soto\u00a0and Melany Mercedes\u00a0\u2014\u00a0for creating a unique and authentic Super Bowl with such a beautiful message.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tell us about preparing for such a demanding performance.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There were many days of\u00a0rehearsals\u00a0in both Los Angeles and Santa Clara, California. The physical demands increased as the show progressed, and each day I danced more choreography. The long nights and the physical strain were especially noticeable in Santa Clara, when\u00a0the hundreds\u00a0of people who were part of the Super Bowl joined us. For me, it was crucial to stay focused and take care\u00a0of\u00a0my warm-up and rest to arrive at the performance with the same energy I had when I started rehearsals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your most visible moment was when Daddy Yankee\u2019s\u00a0\u201cGasolina\u201d\u00a0played. What do you remember about that moment?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From the moment I knew I would be the girl in front of the camera when\u00a0\u201cGasolina\u201d\u00a0played, I felt like my heart was going to burst. That moment when Benito opened the door to\u00a0\u201cLa Casita\u201d\u00a0was very meaningful.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0important to remember where reggaeton comes from: before it was global music, it was the expression of a community that was discriminated against and marginalized in the Caribbean and\u00a0Latin\u00a0America for many years. It fills my heart that so many people\u00a0connected\u00a0with that tribute.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the camera focused on you in close-up, what did you want the world to see about Cuba and about yourself?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s\u00a0a difficult question\u00a0to answer, because\u00a0I would have\u00a0wanted them to see everything. Beyond\u00a0who\u00a0I am as a dancer, I wanted them to see who I am as a person and the beautiful island I carry with me wherever I go.\u00a0I wanted them to see not only what we have already contributed to art and music, but also everything we still have to contribute.\u00a0I also want them to understand that the current state of Cuba cannot sustain the great light that its people carry within, and that we need help. But we are still here, proudly Cuban.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At what point did you become aware that your dance\u00a0represented\u00a0a collective history: that of Afro-Latino\u00a0and migrant women?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since childhood, I have felt that my connection to dance goes beyond myself. I had the opportunity to study the history of African,\u00a0Afro-Caribbean\u00a0and Indigenous dances, and for me, it is essential to know the culture before the steps.\u00a0I am here thanks to my ancestors, those who survived colonialism and preserved their roots.\u00a0It has not been an easy struggle for Afro-Latino\u00a0and migrant women, and I carry that history with me. I hope that when they see me, they see themselves and know that if I am there, they can be there too.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What would you have liked to see when you were a child, and what responsibility do you feel today as a role model?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a child, I had many insecurities about my identity. I grew up in a time when inclusivity\u00a0wasn\u2019t\u00a0as common as it is today. I would have liked to see more brown skin, curly hair, diverse\u00a0nationalities\u00a0and different body types.\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0happy to know\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0changing. The greatest responsibility I feel today is to continue being authentically myself: to be the woman I always wanted to see as a child.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bersil\u00a0Iglesias

What does it mean to you to\u00a0represent\u00a0Cuba on an international stage like this?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Representing\u00a0Cuba at the Super Bowl with Benito is a dream come true. Being able to proudly raise my flag at such a culturally and politically significant moment is something I will never forget.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What message would you send to other Cuban artists who dream of making it outside the island?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Never try to fit in.\u00a0Let\u2019s\u00a0remember that we are people of music,\u00a0dance\u00a0and art. If you manage to leave the island, do everything you can to fulfill your dreams, not only for yourself, but for those who are still dreaming in Cuba.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you think experiences like this can open more doors for\u00a0Latino\u00a0talent?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes. I hope this show has\u00a0demonstrated\u00a0that\u00a0Latino\u00a0talent fully deserves its place on the global stage.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Would you like to explore other areas of entertainment?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m definitely interested in artistic and creative direction.\u00a0I would like to work on the choreographic side or in artistic development at some point in my career.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Are there any collaborations that you are particularly excited about?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever since I was a little girl,\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0dreamed of working with Beyonc\u00e9 and Rihanna. I identify with\u00a0both of them\u00a0since discovering their music, and\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0always wanted to contribute to their artistic visions. I also hope to expand my career into acting.\u00a0We\u2019ll\u00a0see what comes next.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
