LIVE SITAR MUSIC IN FLORIDA

---

I explore the expressive connections between Afro‑Cuban musical traditions and the lyrical depth of Indian classical music, creating contemporary works where the sitar becomes a voice of cultural dialogue. My projects highlight shared emotional and rhythmic principles across traditions - not fusion, not imitation, but a modern conversation shaped by identity, nuance, and imagination.

I believe deeply in the power of music and its ability to connect us, to bridge cultures, and to remind us of our shared humanity. Through my performances, I strive to create musical experiences that inspire, uplift, and unite people from all walks of life.

Alongside my artistic work, I also collaborate as a sitar player for performances, recordings, cross‑genre projects, and special events. 

Whether in contemporary classical settings, world music, ambient projects, or ceremonial environments, I bring a distinctive sound rooted in technique, sensitivity, and versatility.

If you are exploring new artistic collaborations or seeking a sitarist for your project or event, I welcome the opportunity to connect.

Arsenio Díaz earned his degree in Music and Classical Guitar in Cuba in 2003. After relocating to the United States, he joined Miami Dade College as a classical guitar instructor, continuing to expand his musical practice and pedagogical work. During this period, he began formal studies in sitar and Indian classical music under Bharti D. Chokshi, executive president of the Association of Performing Arts of India (APAI), whose guidance shaped the foundation of his intercultural artistic vision.

Driven by a deep commitment to ethno‑convergence and multicultural expression, Arsenio has dedicated his career to creating and performing music that educates, builds cultural bridges, and inspires unity across diverse communities. By blending traditional Indian melodic frameworks with Afro‑Cuban rhythmic and harmonic traditions, he seeks to honor cultural heritage while celebrating the shared humanity that connects us all.
