Seamlessly blending genres such as jazz, Cuban folklore, and soul, she draws inspiration from the intertwining musical legacies of her native Cuba. She carries the flame for a new generation of Afro-Latin and Cuban musicians.

These special shows (Doors at 5pm and 8pm) mark her return to the London stage following the release of her vibrant new single Para mover los pies on Brownswood Recordings, produced by Eduardo Cabrera (Calle 13).

‘Still in her mid-20s, Daymé Arocena is Cuba’s finest young female singer. She has a powerful, versatile style and enormous crossover potential.’ Guardian

‘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.’ NPR
