Dayanis Lozano, a prominent Cuban singer, was born on October 31, 1973. She studied English, but chose music as her career, first training in the jazz group Exodo and later the pop group Arkanar, later renamed Luz Verde. She was the lead singer in both groups, and in the latter, she released her songs “Prisionera” and “Con tu Luz,” which quickly made national charts.

With one of the most appealing voices in the genre, Dayanis Lozano is considered one of the pioneers of the pop music movement in Cuba, although she has also explored other rhythms such as jazz, light jazz, gospel, and blues, among others. Dayanis has stated that her knowledge of English has greatly aided her artistic career.

The release of his CD, “El alma no basta,” under the EGREM label, came at a time when salsa was almost exclusively in demand among the Cuban public, so unfortunately, it didn’t achieve widespread acceptance despite containing beautiful ballads and excellent musical arrangements.

Dayanis Lozano continued to tour nationally with talent, image, and a firm commitment to demonstrating that there is a strong pop music movement in Cuba and that it will gain more and more followers.

In 2008, she returned to Cuban stages, having been absent due to motherhood. Her first performance after a brief absence at the Karl Marx Theater (1010 1st Ave., Miramar, Playa, Havana) in Havana was highly acclaimed. The audience enjoyed the elaborate stage design, to which Dayanis added brilliance with her wonderful voice, in which she performed ballads that were very difficult to interpret. The successful concert featured guests such as Ernesto Blanco, Edesio Alejandro, Rolando Luna, Gastón Joya, Rodney Barreto, the Amadeo Roldán Conservatory String Ensemble, and vocal support from the Voces Negras group. Also taking part in the show were the “Gigantería” group from Old Havana and the Cuban Television Ballet.

Following this performance, Dayanis Lozano embarked on a national tour, organized by the Cuban Institute of Music. She was accompanied by her band and took the opportunity to visit maternity homes in different cities across the country, continuing a campaign she had conducted with UNICEF in support of breastfeeding. This tour served as a prelude to her tour with Adagio Records in Germany.

Her album, “Acrilíco,” was recorded at Colibrí Studios and released in 2009. Although the album’s main genre is pop, it is exquisitely nuanced by jazz. The CD contains twelve tracks that were carefully selected, some of which were written by Dayanis herself, who also co-wrote the title track with young art instructor Iranay Sánchez. The album also features arrangements by Carlos Cartaya.
