Yaima Sáez Bejarano, is an outstanding singer of Cuban music originally from the Cuban province of Camagüey. University Graduate in Physical Culture, comes to the world of music in 2006 assuming the song as the main genre to interpret.

With the voice of Yaima you can reach the level of value that those songs had, (referring to the classical repertoire of the Cuban song) ... () because I dare to say it with certainty is one of the most qualified voices of all the current songbook and of course in it those songs will charge the true value, the true prestige, the true hierarchy that only a chanter of the temper, the voice and the faculties of Yaima can face.

Words that define the action of this singer with contralto voice, lover of psychology, which has led to harmonize their life experiences with all that reach him ... the truth is that he has achieved that her relationship with her audience is the main source of inspiration and raport with the interpretive universe that defends.
