Telmary is a Cuban rapper, musician, and spoken-word artist. Her music effectively brought together two worlds that seemed separated, combining music genres, tearing down cultural barriers, and connecting people of different backgrounds and languages. Such a bold and original idea took her worldwide for decades, made it to seven different albums, and allowed her to collaborate with various artists and ensembles everywhere. Telmary has refined a technique that enables her to use her voice as a communication instrument while blending it as a percussive element, adapting to different genres, styles and tempos. Telmary is also an accomplished educator who has presented her work and perspectives at music festivals, literary and journalistic gatherings, and universities. At the same time, she has been an active participant in academic and journalistic venues, researching and analyzing some of the main themes of her musical production: Cuban daily life (including racism), the status of women and the historical origins of Cuban, especially Afro Cuban, contemporary music.

This concert is part of Wave Hill's “Roots and Branches” indoor concert series, featuring artists from across musical disciplines, exploring how traditions and heritage inspire musical exploration and growth.
