Local Cuban Artist Dayren Santamaria Talks About Her Music and Upcoming Presentation at Ford Amphitheatre
One of most recent arrivals on the L.A. music scene from Cuba (via Tampa) is violin virtuoso Dayren Santamaria, who hails from the beautiful city of Matanzas in the northern part of Cuba, which is the gateway to the famous Varadero Beach. Santamaria is a classically trained violinist and was part of the famous all-female chamber ensemble Camerata Romeu, founded and directed by Zenaida Castro Romeu from the iconic Romeu musical family. Interesting enough, I had the pleasure of seeing Santamaria play at Cal State Northridge many years ago, and now we connect again to discuss her latest presentation on Friday, Aug. 25 at the Ford Amphitheatre, where she will share the stage with Cuba-based Afro-Cuban jazz group Sintesis, which was founded in 1974. -- Living Out Loud
