Fahrenheit 456: Daymé Arocena and "El 456"

Today's random tune is performed by Daymé Arocena, an Afro-Cuban jazz singer from Havana who has been described by The Guardian as Cuba's finest young female singer. A singer since she was eight, she was fronting a band by the age of 14. A musical prodigy, Daymé Arocena is also a composer, arranger, choir director and band leader. She is also a practitioner of Santería, and often performs in white on stage as a statement of her beliefs. This song, El 456, can be found on her 2016 album One Takes.
