Dayme Arocena - Cubafonia (CD)

Details: 2017 release. With Cuba poised to become more connected to the rest of the world, the Cuban people's pride in a unique musical heritage has never felt more vital. Arising from that lineage, Daymé Arocena has returned to deliver an ambitious second long player; rooting her compositions in Cuba's classic rhythms, Daymé encompasses the rich, diverse musical make-up of her home whilst looking outward too - to the world she has spent the last two years traveling. It's her most polished, fully realized project since meeting her mentor (and record label head), Gilles Peterson, in 2012. Benefiting from Gilles' expansive vision as a DJ, broadcaster and promoter, Daymé has been nurtured to this point by the Havana Cultura project.
