Urban-Latin rhythms, Feminine strength
& Old-School glamour from Grammy
Award winning CuCu Diamantes, the co-
founder of Latin funk collective Yerba Buena.
With Yerba Buena, Diamantes was
instrumental in the creation of a unique new
sound of the Caribbean and
the urban grit of New York. Now, with the
release of the cabaret-inspired CUCULAND,
comes the irresistible multi-cultural mix of
old-school Cuban glamour and rhythm fused
with a distinct element of New York’s
downtown music scene to create a
captivating and seductive album that boils
with fusions of rock, boogaloo, hip-hop,
funk, jazz and Antillean rhythms. The songs
of CUCULAND find Diamantes extending the
beloved sound of Yerba Buena mixing pure
rhythm with deep and reflective lyrics, tackling
the challenges and triumphs of her life
experience, her reinventions and her
relationships. A combination of non-stop,
rhythmic Latin energy, cinematic drama and
feminine strength.
