The intro during the credits before the group starts to play doesn't sound Cuban, and doesn't sound like live playing. It sounds like a computerized attempt to sequence a conga de comparsa using loops and sampled sounds and with a lot of other "creative" stuff thrown in off clave that doesn't fit with a conga rhythm. That intro audio has nothing to do with the video clips in the intro, which are from other videos minus their audio. The group of young guys that plays in the video sounds great, definitely real playing and definitely Cuban.
