Cuban singer Daymé Arocena has just received a nomination at the 25th edition of the Latin Grammy Awards in the Song of the Year category.

Daymé was recognized alongside the Dominican composer, musician, and singer Vicente García for the song A fuego lento, written and performed by both.

The list of the seven songs competing in this category, along with their performers and creators, was announced in a video by the Cuban duo Gente de Zona.

"Congratulations to all the nominees," expressed the Latin Grammy on their Instagram account.

This is the first nomination for the 32-year-old artist at the Latin Grammy, but not at the American Grammys.

In 2017, at the 60th edition of the event, she was nominated in the category of Best Latin Jazz Album for Oddara, a record by Canadian saxophonist Jacve Bunnet in which Daymé participated with the Cuban female group Maqueque.

At the 2024 Latin Grammy Awards, several Cuban artists and musicians are competing.

Among them are Cimafunk and Monsieur Periné for Catalina, in the category of Recording of the Year.

As Best New Artist, the group Darumas is nominated, consisting of Cuban singer and guitarist Ceci León along with an Argentine bassist and another Haitian vocalist based in Chile.

On his part, the rapper Al2 El Aldeano is nominated alongside Vico C in the category of Best Rap/Hip Hop Song for Blam Blam.

Three Cubans aspire to win the award for Best Traditional Tropical Album: Alex Cuba with Voces de mi familia, Yelsy Heredia with Los Mismos Negros, and Yeisy Rojas with A mis ancestros.

In the category Best Latin Jazz Album, Sammy Figueroa competes alongside the Cubans Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Aymée Nuviola for Searching For A Memory (Busco Tu Recuerdo). Rubalcaba is also nominated with Collab, alongside Hamilton De Holanda.

And Paquito D'Rivera hopes to take home the award for Best Contemporary Classical Work/Composition for Caribbean Berceuse.

The presentation of awards, the most prestigious in Latin music, will take place on November 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
