Yarima Blanco y Son Latino

Yarima Blanco y Son Latino (CUB)A woman playing Cuba’s three-stringed guitar tres on international stages still is a buzzy novelty. Yarima Blanco is the artist’s name. For a good dozen years she has made a name for herself for her dazzling technique and jaw-dropping instrumental prowess. (Cuban rhythmicality is a given.) A single number can run a gamut of emotions and timbres from the percussive-aggressive to the smooth-romantic. An ambassador for Cuban women in the arts and in life in general, she is an artist to watch. In every sense.
