Global Cuba Fest: Yusa and Friends

Global Cuba Fest brings an evening of contemporary Cuban music to the Miami Beach Bandshell, led by singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Yusa.

Presented by Miami Light Project and Fundarte on Saturday, March 21, this concert highlights Yusa’s expansive musical language, shaped by Cuban roots and informed by global influences. Her work blends jazz, canción, poetry and everyday storytelling into songs that feel intimate and grounded, reflecting themes of transformation and self-discovery. Known for her expressive voice and fluid command of guitar and bass, Yusa creates performances that prioritize presence, nuance and emotional connection.

The program, titled World of Rhythms, features Yusa alongside special guest collaborators, offering a dynamic exploration of sound that bridges tradition and experimentation. Set within the open-air setting of the historic Miami Beach Bandshell, the performance underscores Global Cuba Fest’s mission to spotlight Cuban artists whose work speaks across borders while remaining deeply personal and lived.
