Welcome to my music world!
My name is Arsenio Diaz, and I want to invite you to enjoy the live sound of the Sitar, the most significant and extraordinary musical instrument in the Hindustani music.
Live Sitar Music. Meditation music. Yoga music. These are the most common terms associated to this beautiful instrument.
However, besides adding charm and fantasy to any event or venue with its mesmerizing sound, or connecting the participants of yoga classes and mindfulness events with a higher state of consciousness by using the complex and refined tradition of Classical Indian music, the Sitar has been much more to me.
This majestic instrument has accompanied my approach to music that focuses on ethno-convergence and multiculturalism. Since I strongly believe that art is significant to society and that has the ability to unite people across the spectrum of humanity, I love to create and perform music that builds bridges between cultures, and inspires and unites people across the spectrum of humanity.
Short Bio
Arsenio got a degree in Music and Classical Guitar in Cuba in 2003.
Settled in USA, he was hired by the Miami Dade College as a classical guitar instructor, and he was accepted as student by Bharti D. Chokshi, the executive president of the Association of Performing Arts of India (APAI) to receive lessons of sitar and Indian classical music, and to participate in workshops led by the prestigious musician Alam Khan.
Following his passion about ethno-convergence and multiculturalism, Arsenio has been creating and performing music intended to educate, to build bridges between cultures, and to inspire and unite people across the spectrum of humanity. Fusioning traditional Indian tunes with melodies and rhythmic patterns from the Afro-Cuban repertoire, he has been aiming to bring awareness about the need to preserve heritage, traditions, and culture.
For 3 consecutive years (2022, 2023, and 2024), Arsenio has been awarded with the “Miami Individual Artists (MIA) grant program” by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs. He has been working with excellent organizations such as Miami Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, Faena Art, Conecta Miami Arts, Fundarte, Miami Light Project, Rotary Club, Artefactus, among others.
