The album's first single, "Para," is out now — stream it below.
Con Toque Cubano is the forthcoming full-length album from Cuban vocalist Arahí, arriving on Tumi Music on 24 August 2026. Across ten tracks, the Santa Clara-born singer moves through son, cha cha chá and other classic Cuban forms with the ease of an artist who has spent a lifetime inside them — as former lead voice of the legendary all-female orchestra Anacaona, and a veteran of stages in more than twenty countries.
The album's first single, "Para," released 15 July 2026, sets the tone: a cha cha chá built around a striking violin solo from Armando García Fernández, with guitar, bass and tres from producer Lino Lores García and a rhythm section rounded out by Raudel Betancourt Díaz, Simone Catellacci, Manuel Machado and Pity Cabrera. Two more tracks follow ahead of the full album — "Desamor" on 24 July and "Deseo" on 7 August — before Con Toque Cubano arrives in full on 24 August 2026, executive produced by Mo Fini.

Para que te estas pasando
Para no puedo con tanto
Para que mi corazón
Se está enamorando
Para que te estás pasando
Para no puedo con tanto
Para que mi corazón
No sufra desencanto
Para, que tu boca me provoca
Para, ya me estoy volviendo loca
Para, soy sensible y tengo corazón
No soy una roca
Para, vas por sentido contrario
Para, te has vuelto muy necesario
Para, tu amor es vicio y ya no sé vivir
Si no te tengo a diario
Ráfaga de viento, puro amor en movimiento
Sin frenar, a donde va a parar
Aceleraciones sin control de sentimientos
Un amor de alta velocidad
Para, que se acelera mi pulso
Para, no quiero llevarme un susto
Para, que la vida es puro carnaval
Y yo no quiero disgusto
Para, vamos pasito a pasito
Para, bailando bien pegaditos
Para, yo prefiero bailar cha cha chá
Pero my heart tranquilito
Para que te estas pasando
Para no puedo con tanto
Para que mi corazón
Se está enamorando
Para que te estás pasando
Para no puedo con tanto
Para que mi corazón
No sufra desencanto

Arahí Martínez Carranza was born in Santa Clara, Cuba, into a family of musicians, and began performing at just four years old alongside her sister Elizabeth in the children's duo Hermanas Carranza. As an adult she joined the salsa group Somos Jóvenes before taking the step that would define her career: becoming lead vocalist of Anacaona, Cuba's legendary all-female orchestra, with whom she toured more than 23 countries.
After relocating to Spain, Arahí expanded into theatre and film — appearing in El burgués gentilhombre, Machín, toda una vida and Para que no me olvides — while continuing to record and perform with projects including Dúo Las Carranza, Alma Cubana and Las Estrellas de Buena Vista. Her discography includes the albums Manaké and La Negrita y el Guaro, alongside a featured credit on 100 Sones Cubanos (J&N Records, 2010), a Grammy-nominated production.
Con Toque Cubano is her most personal statement yet — a full-length record produced by Lino Lores García that returns to the sound of her Cuban roots with a contemporary voice.
