An Evening of Mexican & Cuban Rhythms
Performed by Yam Beat

Erich Otero, Yamel Anaíd Kuri Guridi, Carlos Fernández Castro, Samira Aguilera Rodríguez & David Marco

Yam Beat is a versatile musical ensemble featuring soprano Yamel Kuri alongside musicians Erich Alexis, Carlos Castro, David Marcos, and Samira Aguilera. Their performances span a wide range of genres—from classical to popular music—seamlessly blending cultural heritage with strong academic training.

Yamel and Erich, both from Tijuana, first met in 2016 and soon joined forces to pursue a professional career in music. Over the years, they have performed at social events and appeared in numerous regional festivals. In 2024, the ensemble expanded with the addition of Carlos, David, and Samira, musicians originally from Cuba, whose exceptional artistry added new depth and richness to the project.

Today, in addition to their work at social events, Yam Beat presents elegant candlelight tribute concerts and has developed Yam Beat Cinema—a unique live experience in which classic films are screened and performed live by the ensemble. Their repertoire includes Cinema Paradiso, The Bodyguard, Flashdance, and Amélie.
