Producer Rob Fraboni, who has worked with virtually all the greats in the music industry, says he is reminded of the great songstress of the 70s, Linda Ronstadt, with her natural vocal range that spans several octaves from contralto to soprano. ‘Dakhóta has that same quality,’ he notes. ‘She’s a natural.’”

BIOGRAPHY

Imagine a gardenia bathed in moonlight; sensual yet mysterious. Dakhóta’s voice embodies that same magic, a captivating blend of allure, vulnerability, and emotional depth.

Of Native American, Hispanic, and Scandinavian descent, Dakhóta draws on her multicultural heritage and eclectic upbringing to craft a sound that transcends boundaries. Leaning in to her life experiences, she explores her artistry across languages, weaving Latin and Caribbean rhythms into soundscapes that captivate us in their polyrhythmic spell.

Her haunting rendition of “La Llorona” went viral on YouTube, capturing hearts across Latin America. Through her feminine interpretation of “La Mujer de Tu Vida,” she empowers women and enchants dancers worldwide.

From Africa to Australia, Dakhóta has graced stages around the globe, performing alongside legends like Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton, as well as acclaimed artists such as Joe Veras and Mayra Andrade.

Areíto Arts — An “areíto” is a Taíno rhythm, song, dance and gathering through which history is taught and passed down.

Dakhóta has been studying dance almost as long as she has been walking, and started her professional career dancing in a Sesame Street produced Music Video at the age of 9. She distinctly remembers the moment her passion for Afro-Caribbean rhythms emerged, when her grandmother taught her chachachá. While studying abroad at University, Dakhóta was introduced to bachata and instantly fell in love.

After earning her BA in Music, and after 10 years of studying bachata music and dance, she co-founded Areíto Arts along with her dance and business partner Edwin Ferreras. Together they have taken Areíto Arts’ curriculum across 6 Continents, teaching many world class international artists along the way.
