La Dame Blanche

Yaite Ramos Rodriguez—who performs as La Dame Blanche—is the daughter of Jesús “Aguaje” Ramos, trombonist with both the Buena Vista Social Club and Afro-Cuban All Stars. But that pedigree only scratches the surface of her approach to music and life. The singer, flautist, and percussionist blends the Cuban music of her childhood with the sounds of hip-hop, dancehall, and cumbia, and plenty more. Her catchy beats are vehicles for female empowerment—and for summoning the spirits that will have you up and dancing.
