Daymé Arocena

Dazzling young Havanan sings Afro-Cuban music suffused with jazz, soul and funk.

4/12/2018
7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Hopkins Center 123 Spaulding Auditorium
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Performances

From a country renowned for its musicians, Arocena has exploded on the scene as one of Cuba’s most dazzling. Backed by a sterling young Cuban trio, she reimagines the music of her Afro-Cuban roots suffused with jazz, soul and funk. A veteran performer although only in her mid-20s, her voice recalls Celia Cruz, Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone, and her unstoppable charisma—whether in Spanish, English, Yoruba or other languages—charms audiences worldwide.

This engagement is made possible through Southern Exposure: Performing Arts of Latin America, a program of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.
