P18 was a Franco-Cuban electronic and Latin music group formed in 1995 by Thomas “Tom” Darnal, a keyboardist and former member of the French group Mano Negra. The name of the group was derived from the letter “P” for Paris and Patchanka, and the number “18” representing the 18th arrondissement of Paris. During the Cargo 92 tour in South America with Mano Negra in 1992, Darnal met Barbaro Teuntor, a trumpeter from the Cuban group Sierra Maestra. Four years later, in 1996, after Mano Negra disbanded, Darnal and Teuntor formed the new group. Darnal moved to Havana, Cuba, for three years to define the group's sound, blending Cuban rumba with electronic music. The band's debut album, Urban Cuban, was released in 1999, and featured collaborations with former Mano Negra members Daniel Jamet and Philippe Teboul. This was followed by the album Electropica in 2002. After a four-year absence from the stage, the group returned and released the album Viva P18 (2008), before disbanding later that year. The group's discography also includes collaborations on compilation albums such as Rumours of War (1998), Radical Mestizo (1999), Fuerza Vol. 1 (2000), Fuerza Vol. 2 (2001), and Muevete Bien (2005).
