Santa Fé is a Cuban musical quartet, based in Spain, consisting of a rapper and three singers. They have released two albums to date on Vale Music.

On January 9, 2007, Santa Fe performed on Misión Eurovisión 2007, a televised contest on TVE1 to determine the musical artist who will represent Spain in the annual Eurovision song contest. They won the 1st place in the first round with a total of 195 (second highest overall) votes, and will perform in the semi-finals on February 10, 2007. If they were to go to Eurovision, they would be the first non-Spanish born artists to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest.

On February 10, 2007, Santa Fe was eliminated from Misión Eurovisión. A crowd favorite, considered front-runners all along, they did not make a big splash in voting. Although their performance received exceptional crowd reaction, they were not a televoting favorite. They placed 16 out of 20 with 19 points.
