ABOUT YAMI
Music has always been the center. The work grew outward from there.
I’m a Cuban musicologist and writer whose career has expanded across education, research, digital marketing, cultural travel and business development.
That mix has shaped how I approach projects: with respect for context and culture, but also with an eye toward how ideas are communicated, experienced and developed in the real world.
BACKGROUND
A multidisciplinary path built over time.
Musicology remains the foundation, but each stage of my career added a new way of understanding audiences, culture and creative work.
EDUCATION & TEACHING
Music from the inside out
I studied music formally and earned a Bachelor of Musicology from the University of the Arts of Cuba. Beginning in 2013, I worked as a music teacher in professional and private music education in Havana and later in Colorado.
RESEARCH
Musicology as a practice
In 2017, I joined the Cuban Music Research and Development Center as a musicologist and researcher, working with research, writing and translation connected to Cuban music and culture.
CULTURAL TRAVEL & DIGITAL
From scholarship to audiences
Since 2019, my work has expanded through Havana Music Tours and Musical Getaways, combining digital marketing, content, cultural travel and business development.
HOW I WORK
Context first. Then communication.
The common thread across my work is understanding what something means before deciding how to present it.
Whether I’m researching music, shaping content, developing a cultural experience or thinking about a digital strategy, I’m interested in work that feels informed, human and specific rather than generic.
Areas I return to
- Musicology, criticism and research
- Writing and cultural storytelling
- Digital marketing and content strategy
- Music-focused cultural travel
- Creative business and partnership development
