Passport Sessions presents La Dame Blanche

With her unique mix of hip hop, female empowerment, dancehall, and catchy beats, singer, flautist, and percussionist Yaite Ramos Rodriguez, aka La Dame Blanche, delivers a compelling sound that summons the spirits.

Born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, to Jesús "Aguaje" Ramos of the Buena Vista Social Club Orquestra, Yaite's childhood was filled with music. Despite modest beginnings, she felt loved and happy. In Paris, she began sharing her music globally.

La Dame Blanche’s fourth album, ELLA, is a tribute to her mother and all women, reflecting her powerful and rebellious spirit. This Cuban artist blends Latin and Urban, Cumbia and HipHop, creating a dynamic and evocative performance that celebrates the strength and sensuality of women.
