DAYMÉ AROCENA

Friday, August 4, 2017

8 p.m.

Tickets $25-$35

Cuban singer and composer Daymé Arocena is a musician of exceptional warmth and powerful presence. Combining contemporary Cuban music and Santerian chants with fluid jazz styling, Daymé synthesizes elements of her homeland and world music into an enrapturing musical fusion. Her live performances are equally captivating, immersing fragments of rumba rhythms and outbursts of scatting into her songs, and with the ability to “whip the audience into a call-and-response chant that proves her myriad talents are always in service of a communal experience” (The Los Angeles Times).

Says NPR, “There is something going on in Cuba that is, quite simply, raising the bar on music of all kinds. An incredibly talented and visionary group of Cuban millennials are reimagining their African roots through a lens that filters jazz, soul and funk. And Daymé Arocena is literally giving voice to this movement.”

Performance features Daymé Arocena (vocals), Jorge Luis Lagarza (piano), Rafael Aldama (bass), and Raul Herrera (drums).
