HER SOUND, HER LIFE.
Meet Dayren Santamaria
Dayren was fated to be an entertainer. Born in Matanzas, Cuba to a professional musician father and an actress mother, she opted for a musical life and chose to study violin at age 8. Her passion for music has taken her on a journey around the world and across musical styles.

Most recently she formed her band Dayren Santamaria & Made in Cuba in 2015 with some of the best musicians in Los Angeles including Oscar Hernandez (Piano), Jimmy Branly (Drums/Timbales), Joey De Leon (Congas/Vocals), Carlitos Del Puerto (Bass), just to mention a few. They perform nationally as well as internationally. She is currently the Musical Director for a TV show “Noches Con Platanito”, where she composes, arranges, plays the violin and conducts the band.
Audiences and fellow musicians in a range of musical styles know that this lady can really play and isn’t limited to reading orchestral scores! Her performance experience and her passion for music are evident.

We believe in reinvention and discovery. We believe everything that comes before us shapes what we are now. And, we believe that connection is everything.
The Bloc is a vibrant, open-air urban center, a growing, inclusive community, a LEED™ certified Gold project, and an inflection point in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Encompassing a full city block along LA’s iconic 7th Street corridor, The Bloc connects the financial, fashion, jewelry, and theater districts – and the 7th Street Metro Center Station, where four DTLA lines converge. Offering a diverse mix of thoughtfully-curated shops, artisans, and premier retailers including a Macy’s flagship store, restaurants, bars, open-air green space, and entertainment, The Bloc is also home to the Sheraton Grand Los Angeles Hotel, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, and a 722,000 square-foot, creative-focused office tower.

An array of events from live music, dance, and theater performances to art installations, fitness classes, and food and drink tastings welcomes Angelenos and visitors from all walks of life – and anyone seeking inspiration, community, and connection.
