ABOUT ME

“Not many musicians present you with a film-noir story line as well as their album, but then not everybody is Arema Arega. The Cuban singer-songwriter, designer and painter currently living in Barcelona. She is a huge talent”

- Sammy Stein Something Else Reviews

“I came across Arema's music via Havana Cultura - an initiative dedicated to promoting authentic Cuban culture. We collaborated on 'Havana Cultura: The Search Continues' and I was blown away by her vocal delivery and songwriting. An amazing talent.”

- Gilles Peterson, Gilles Peterson Bandcamp collection

The lilting elegance of Arema Arega's "Ay", meanwhile, updates the island's acoustic traditions in winning style.”

- Neil Spencer, The Guardian

Arema Arega, Voronezh, cold summer of 79, is a cuban singer-songwriter and painter. Born from an Ethiopian father and a Cuban mother, her work, both pictorial and musical, are the result of this mixture. There are Blues with Son, Bossa with Jazz, Folk with Funk and ChaChaCha. Everything under the tropical influence of Cuba.

​

She is one of the artists of the album Gilles Peterson Presents Havana Cultura: The Search Continues and the Gilles Peterson Presents Havana Cultura: Anthology . Also invited by The Bahama Soul Club to collaborate on The Cuban Tapes, The Havana ´58 , The Havana Remixes and the Club des Belugas's Album Nine . Her last release are the Album The Red Soundtracks, The Blue Soundtracks - Light Seekers Journey and the single Que la Conga, all of them part of The Soundtracks  a developing project created as a score for an imaginary film and the Ep: Blue Bossa - My Feeling, a collaboration with Born74, that is being remixed by Afrikanz on Marz and released by Ramrock Records.
