Daymé Arocena

Afro-Cuban singer Daymé Arocena draws on the rhythms of Latin traditions, nimble athleticism of jazz and catchy hooks of pop. Frequently compared to icons like Aretha Franklin, Celia Cruz and Nina Simone, this Grammy® Award-nominated vocalist “unites cosmopolitan musicianship with deep roots” (The New York Times), bringing a genre-blending creativity to her virtuosity. “A dynamic performer con carisma y fuerza, her ebullient personality and performance shines” (NPR Music) as she returns to our stage for the first time in over nine years.
