Today, that gift is singer-composer Daymé Arocena. With exceptional warmth and a powerful presence to augment her virtuosity, Arocena is one of the “most inviting ambassadors” for Cuba’s contemporary music. Santerían chant, rhythmic complexity, fluid jazz styling, and a nuanced Afro-Cuban soulfulness—Arocena channels the elements in service to her audience and culture.
