 Maricarmen
began performing as an accordionist in 1968. She is originally from Cuba,
and is of Spanish descent.
In 1980, she earned
a degree in music from Ignacio Cervant Conservatory (which specializes
in International popular music). In the early to mid '90's, she's performed
on television programs and in hotels in Havana, Cuba. Her International
musical tour took her to Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and the Dominican
Republic. In 1994, Maricarmen immigrated to the USA and began performing

and the like. She is also invited to perform for the American Accordionist's
Association each year!
There is no job too big or too small for her. Maricarmen has a wonderful
command of her Titano Midi instrument, coupled with excellent accordion
technique. Her repertoire is stupendous … if you want to hear it,
she will play it! In addition, this "Latin Diva of the Accordion"
plays with such feeling that she will bring tears to your eyes.
From the President of the Florida Accordion Association, Karen Adam:
"Maricarmen is held in the highest esteem by the Florida Accordion
Association. She is our Miami-area State representative. This "Latin
Diva of the Accordion" performs each fall for the Florida Accordion
Association's annual festival.
She keeps the crowd dancing in their seats with her specialty …
Latin numbers! Maricarmen can & does play it all! This individual
is one-of-a-kind, and we feel very lucky to have her with us. She goes
above & beyond to promote the accordion." Visit the Florida
