When it comes to the most dynamic artist in Cuba right now, it’s undoubtedly Daymé Arocena.

Her greatest appeal, I believe, lies in her exceptional songwriting.

Her taste level is simply off the charts.

She has a distinctive sound that fuses Cuban Afro with neo-soul, acid jazz, and bolero.

Her track “Eleggua” is a cool piece that offers a glimpse into that musical sensibility.

I’m sure music aficionados will love it!

The Weeknd is a Canadian singer who represents the R&B scene.

That said, he only released R&B in his early days; with Blinding Lights as the turning point, he fully shifted to synth-pop.

Synth-pop was a mainstream genre in the 1980s, and this track expresses that era’s musical sensibilities with a modern sound—nostalgic yet stylishly put together.

Fall Out Boy is a rock band from Illinois.

Known for a sound rooted in punk—such as pop punk and punk rock—they were on hiatus for a time, but are now active at the forefront of the punk rock scene.

Among their works, the especially cool track is Centuries.

The energy is high from the very first verse, and it ramps up even more in the chorus—an outstandingly hot and stylish number.

Halsey is a singer-songwriter from New Jersey who debuted in Billboard in 2015.

Her sweet vocals really touch the heart.
