Afro-Cuban singer-songwriter Daymé Arocena has definitively established herself as one of the most innovative and consistent creators on the contemporary Latin soul music scene. An early musical export from the Cuban thaw of the 2010s, the Havana-born Arocena’s full-throated voice, cunning self-orchestrations, and endlessly curious explorations into melody have yielded discerning listeners a treasure trove of original songs, most recently from her stellar 2024 album Alkemi. NPR calls Alkemi “Arocena’s expansion into R&B, bossa nova, funk and neo-soul, providing a richly layered backdrop for her powerhouse vocals to take center stage while moving further into Latin pop than she’s ever been before.” For her headlining premiere at Lincoln Center’s David Rubenstein Atrium, Arocena and her touring band will share tracks from Alkemi and from across her catalog, plus a few new surprises.
