Saturday, November 8, 2025 by Felix Ortiz

Maiteé Martínez Naveda, a Cuban content creator and musician, offers a peek into her everyday life in Sanya, located in the southern province of Hainan, China, where she resides with her partner, who is also a musician.

Through a video shared on her social media, Maiteé reveals her daily routine in the Asian nation. Her day begins with household chores, followed by several hours of instrument practice, during which she endeavors to keep noise to a minimum to avoid disturbing her neighbors in the apartment complex.

By 3:30 p.m., Maiteé and her partner catch a typically empty bus to their workplace. They perform as musicians at a luxury hotel's entertainment program, delivering two to three live performances each day.

"My goal is to ensure the guests have the best time and enjoy a unique experience. I also earn applause, which is the most rewarding part for an artist," Maiteé shared.

Balancing her musical talents with her digital content creation, this Cuban musician proudly demonstrates the dedication, effort, and passion required to pursue her love for music while living in one of the world's largest countries.
