    Born of Spanish, African, Chinese and French heritage, CuCu Diamantes is a fascinating singer-songwriter and actress from Cuba. Along with producer-guitarist Andres Levin, Diamantes co-founded the sizzling-hot Latin fusion collective, Yerba Buena, and was directly responsible for garnering major recognition and popularity for the band, including a Grammy® nomination and performances with artists such as Dave Matthews, Ray Charles, Juanes and Celia Cruz, as well as critical media praise. After eight years as Yerba Buena's principal vocalist and songwriter, Diamantes released her first solo record, CuCuLand, in March 2009 to much anticipation. Smart, sexy and fierce, CuCu Diamantes' music is an intoxicating mix of NYC downtown funk and old-school Cuban glamour and passion.
