“With a powerful and flexible delivery—and a globetrotting ear for beats—the rapper is one of the artists leading the hip-hop revolution in Cuban popular music.”
—NPR
Acclaimed rapper and poet Telmary marries her impressive flow with Afro-Cuban rhythms for a groundbreaking sound that’s equal parts hip-hop, funk, and Latin jazz. A two time Cubadisco Award winner for Best Hip-Hop Album, Telmary has collaborated with international luminaries like the Buena Vista Social Club, Dr. John, Afrika Bambaataa, and the Afro-Cuban All Stars. With her formidable rhymes, Latin-inspired beats, and socially conscious messages, Telmary is at the very forefront of Cuban hip-hop.
