Cuban singer Daymé Arocena brings her Alkemi show to the Bram Goldsmith Theater at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills on September 26, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. The date, listed by The Wallis, centers on the repertoire from her 2024 album of the same name.
Born in Havana and now based in Puerto Rico, Arocena blends Afro-Cuban roots with neo-soul, jazz and contemporary Latin pop. The venue describes her as a GRAMMY-nominated and Juno Award–winning artist and notes her featured work on the 2026 GRAMMY-nominated project The Original Influencers: Dizzy, Chano & Chico.
Alongside Alkemi, her catalog includes earlier releases such as Nueva Era (2015). At 9390 N. Santa Monica Blvd., the concert is framed as a high-energy exchange between voice, rhythm and band, moving from intimate passages to fuller stage climaxes.
Music, Singer, Female composer, Society
At just over 20 years old, Dayme Arocena is already a talented and charismatic representation of the most innovative Cuban music. Her powerful voice and her ability to assimilate the most diverse musical currents—especially jazz and Cuban song—combined with her devotion to Afro-Cuban culture, make her one of the most exciting young artists on Cuba's contemporary scene. At the beginning of her academic music studies, she tried her luck with various instruments such as piano, violin, and guitar, until she decided on choral direction, upon understanding that her voice was her best instrument.
