I've been groovin' to Orishas. A cuban ex pat hip-hop band that's based in Paris now. Their early stuff was more hardcore hip-hop. Their later stuff is a nice blend of afro-cuban beats with a hip-hop flare. Some very nice rhythm/bass/percussion stuff happening.
My favorite release is El Kilo.
Here's a sample -
