  • Ronkalunga

    Ronaldo Rodríguez Hernández - Ronkalunga (a name that encapsulates his connection to his family and cultural heritage)

    Cuban singer-songwriter whose sound maintains a unique and distinctive style that has earned him recognition in the Cuban musical scene. Ronkalunga preserves the heritage of traditional music with Afro-Caribbean and contemporary sounds.

    He reveals himself as an heir to the rich tradition of Sonera, Changüicera, and Caribeña Cuban musical genres, with influences from legendary figures such as Guayabero and Compay Segundo, reviving the Pregón, Guaracha, Bolero, and Son Cuban musical genres.

    In his musical performance, Ronkalunga continues to fuse Cuban musical tradition with an alternative sound, as he did on his albums "Raros Pasos" and "Aguacero" (both released on the Cuban record label Bis Music), where he blends Cuban Trova with Caribbean and Latin traditional rhythms.

    With an eclectic and alternative musical style, Ronkalunga offers a musical journey that reflects the richness of genres and rhythms of the eastern part of the island.

    He demonstrates his musical versatility and his ability to blend different styles and sounds, establishing himself as a true talent in the contemporary Cuban music scene.

    Winner of the Cubadisco Awards, Lucas Awards, and Cuerda Viva Awards (some of the most important awards any Cuban artist can receive on the island),

    His music is found on soundtracks for soap operas and intriguing Cuban television programs.

    Ronkalunga’s music hit the Spanish market performing numerous live events in Madrid, Barcelona, Santander, and Valencia, and aggressively seeks to replicate his success in the United States.
