Welcome to a musical episode of Tamarindo where we speak to two Latinas making waves in the  music scene: Daymé Arocena and Girl Ultra. We also speak about how we can practice self-care as we continue to grapple with the atrocities in Gaza. Listen with care. 

Afro-Cuban soul star Dayme Arocena joins Tamarindo to talk about her first album in 5 years, Alkemi, produced by Eduardo Cabra of Calle 13. Blending neo-soul singing, Afro-Caribbean beats and modern pop, Daymé Arocena’s music is a spiritually charged exploration of Afro-Latin grooves that seamlessly fuses tradition and innovation. Catch her on July 20th For FREE here in Los Angeles at Grand Performances. RSVP: https://www.grandperformances.org/events/dayme-arocena

Next, we sit down with Singer/Songwriter Mariana "Nan" de Miguel, aka Girl Ultra, a Mexican singer-songwriter and a rising star in the Latin music scene. She is known for her smooth blend of R&B, rock, and eclectic urban influences. We discuss the inspiration behind her new EP 'blush,' and delve into the themes of youth and self-discovery. We talk about her experience performing at Coachella and how her diverse musical influences have shaped her unique sound.
