PALO! hits the stage with the Afro-Cuban Funk.

PALO! was formed in 2003 when Steve Roitstein invited fellow musicians Leslie Cartaya (vocals), Philbert Armenteros (vocals, percussion), Ed Calle (sax) and Raymer Olalde (vocals, percussion) to join him in an improvised musical experiment combining Cuban music with funk beats. PALO! immediately began a residency at Hoy como Ayer, one of the area’s best live music clubs. They soon started performing in many other area venues. PALO! has been featured at events such as Carnaval on the Mile, Art in the Park, the Amigos For Kids Charity, Miami Book Fair, Arsht Center Fall for the Arts, and the Miami Music Festival.

PALO! has performed for packed houses at New York’s legendary SOB’s, Ryles Jazz Club and Villa Victoria Center for the Arts in Boston, and the Chicago Folk and Roots Festival. The band often appears at venues throughout South Florida.

Their first CD, “This Is Afro-Cuban Funk” is available on gopalo.com as well as in music stores, on iTunes and other digital stores.

The band is comprised of seventeen professional musicians whose cumulative experience totals over five hundred years. Our members have worked with an exhaustive list of luminaries in entertainment including Frank, the Chairman of the Board. Our purpose is to facilitate the performance of our music to a new and thirsty audience.
The band’s library features over one thousand arrangements by such notables as Tommy Newsom, Don Sebesky, Buddy Rich, Doc Severinson, Count Basie, and Sam Nestico. The list goes on and on but basically they are the best and it is our hope to present and preserve the only true original American music form and allow a new audience to discover it. Our particular type of band draws an incredible amount of attention just by its appearance.

PAX Miami Presents

the Brian Lynch Presents Serious Multi Jazz Jam Sessions

Host: Grammy© Award winning trumpeter Brian Lynch and his Artist Ensemble
The Brian Lynch Afro-Caribbean Jazz Artist Ensemble, conducted by Grammy Award winning trumpeter and Frost School of Music professor Brian Lynch, performs original compositions and new arrangements of modern jazz repertory in the exciting and propulsive idiom known as Latin Jazz. Professor Lynch directs his hand picked ensemble of talented young musicians and performs with them as his own group.

Among his many achievements, Brian Lynch has long been known as a great conductor of the jazz jam session. As a member of the house band at the legendary Star Cafe sessions in the New York City of the early 1980s, with Junior Cook and Harold White, and as bandleader of the late night jams at the NY Blue Note in the 1990s, Lynch absorbed the philosophy and practice of the session at its highest level. Now he brings his knowledge and love of the form to Miami and PAX.

Practitioners of all genres from traditional to contemporary, from straight ahead to Afro-Cuban and world music, will be encouraged to participate and cross pollinate, young students and established artists alike. Standards will be kept high and protocol will be firmly in place to encourage the best musical result for players and listeners in the unique and informal atmosphere of PAX!

Brian Lynch

A vital force and emergent legend within both the hardcore straight ahead and Latin Jazz communities, Grammy© Award Winner Brian Lynch is as comfortable negotiating the complexities of clave with Afro-Caribbean pioneer Eddie Palmieri as he is swinging through advanced harmony with bebop maestro Phil Woods. A honored graduate of two of the jazz world’s most distinguished academies, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers and the Horace Silver Quintet, he has been a valued collaborator with jazz artists such as Benny Golson, Toshiko Akiyoshi, and Charles McPherson; Latin music icons as diverse as Hector LaVoe and Lila Downs; and pop luminaries such as Prince. As a bandleader and recording artist he has released 19 critically acclaimed CDs featuring his distinctive composing and arranging, and toured the world with various ensembles reflecting the wide sweep of his music. He currently is Professor of Jazz Trumpet at the Frost School Of Music, University of Miami as well as conducting clinics and workshops at prestigious institutions of learning the world over. His talents have been recognized by top placing in the Downbeat Critics and Readers Polls (#3 Trumpet 2011 Critics Poll); highly rated reviews for his work in Downbeat, Jazziz and Jazz Times; 2005 and 2007 Grammy award nominations, and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Chamber Music America, and Meet The Composer.

Brian’s most recent CD releases as a leader include the Downbeat 5 star rated Unsung Heroes project (Hollistic MusicWorks), ConClave Vol. 2 with his Spheres Of Influence group (CrissCross), the Grammy© Award winning Simpático featuring Eddie Palmieri (ArtistShare), and Bolero Nights For Billie Holiday (Venus).

“You can lose yourself in the pure energy of his playing, but at any moment you can switch your attention to the logic and craftsmanship of his music and find multiple rewards.” NEIL TESSER, Jazziz

“Lynch demonstrates that a dedicated, knowledgeable jazzman can play a diversity of styles with telling authenticity, and make the renditions extremely appealing to both musician and neophyte…Lynch is simply first-rate.” ZAN STEWART, Downbeat

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Rose realized she had the gift of singing at a very early age.

Everyone from her mother’s side was a musician. She is the great-grand daughter of the conductor and composer CUPERTINO DE MENEZES and grand daughter of the guitar player and composer MANUEL DE MENEZES. Cupertino, also a flutist, was a band member of a “choro” group led by Callado Junior and Chiquinha Gonzaga, two of the most prominent musicians from this era. Manuel was partner – in music, adventures and “Bohemia – of the most important Brazilian composer in the early 30’s – Noel Rosa.

She started singing professionally with the OCTETO RIO ORCHESTRA performing jn the musically wealthy nightclub scene of Rio. She studied vocal technique with Graciela di Salerno, Nancy Miranda and Suely Mesquita. She also studied theory and ear training at the Instituto Vila Lobos and Centro de Instrução Musical Ian Guest.

Rose graduated with a degree in Portuguese and Literature from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. As a student, she was involved in various theatrical productions with the group “A QUEM INTERESSA.”

Rose Max performed extensively as a soloist with the vocal group AEQUALE under the direction of acclaimed-musical director ANDRÉ PROTÁSIO. Gaining interest and respect locally, she started working with a number of different bands. One of her best experiences was performing at “CLUBE DO SAMBA” (Samba Club) where she had a chance to learn with some of the big names of Brazilian music, such as Maestro Licinho, Neco, Antonio Carlos Tourinho, João Nogueira, and Roberto Ribeiro. She also started working as a session singer, recording jingles and background vocals, which led to the opportunity of backing up some of Brazil’ s most renowned singers.

Rose moved to Miami in October of 1993, where she has been continuing to grow and develop musically, and by keeping a constant performance schedule, she has become highly recognized in the Brazilian, Hispanic and American communities. She won the BRAZILIAN PRESS AWARD for the “Best Female Brazilian Singer Residing and Performing in the USA” in 1997, 1998 and 2001.

Picadillo, a musical group from Spain, presents its debut album, Las cosas de la vida. Picadillo was formed in August, 2012, in Lavapies, Madrid, when producer Hector Aguero along with two vocalists, Rey Rodriguez and Sol Ruiz joined and began a musical experiment that launched the project. Later joined with trumpeter, percussionist, Jochi, which added the key element to the classic sound of the band. When these musicians of cuban origin came together they created a musical “Picadillo”, (originally a creole recipe), revisiting vintage cuban rhythms like the danzon, boogaloo, cha cha cha and combining with New Orleans trad Jazz, second line, soul and country. They naturally create the link from Cuba to New Orleans. With energetic live performances, they capture audiences with their son electrico. Las cosas de la vida, was recorded at DoReMix studios in Madrid and mixed and mastered by Luis Duran at PM Records en Cuba, in Nov 2012. It was independently released and completed thanks to crowdfunding

Miami Light Project is proud to celebrate the start of our 24th Contemporary Performance Series with an exclusive engagement of the world renowned British band the Tiger Lillies, November 1-2, 2013 at the Light Box at Goldman Warehouse.

The Tiger Lillies defy any singular description and operate within their own eccentric definitions. Founded in 1989, the Tiger Lillies are Martyn Jacques (angel-voiced, accordion playing front man and song writer), Adrian Stout (upright Bass and toy sheep) and Adrian Huge (child’s drum kit and assorted plastic and wooden objects). Treading a fine line between Brecht/Weill opera, English music hall, Gypsy folk and even left-bank Parisian buskers, the Tiger Lillies are like no other band around and they tour the world, wowing audiences with their simply delicious, devilish music.

One moment their blasphemous, perverse irreverence shocks (often leaving their audience in uncontrollable fits of laughter), the next they still the air with beautiful ballads of death, cruelty or depravity. They move between punk-like clown ditties to deadly serious storytellers in the blink of an eye. No fear of taboos, their subject matter includes rape, crucifixion, bestiality, murder or prostitution, more often than not with a hidden morality at the root of each song. Jacques has a wonderfully clear vision of the world’s inequality, if seen from an all too blood shot eye.

As a result, they captivate with every word and timeless sound they make. For fans (they have a cult following throughout many cities of the world) there is also the fun of being part of something that is so shocking, so naughty! The band pushes all limits; wanting to know how close to damnation each of us is willing to go. And if damnation is on the cards, the Tiger Lillies are taking the express elevator down and from listening to their gorgeous music; they appear to love every second of the ride!

Tired of Jazz Festivals that aren’t really Jazz Festivals? Well look no more!
The Miami Beach Jazz Festival is Jazz, pure Jazz! Scheduled for Saturday, November 16th at the intimate Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre, the event promises to be a line-up of quality Jazz performances that will capture the excitement of fans throughout South Florida and beyond including headliner Michelle Coltrane, vocalist and daughter of jazz legends John and Alice Coltrane.
“There are many music festivals that call themselves ‘Jazz’ events, but are all too often watered down with other types of music” says event founder and producer, Carmen J. Cartiglia. “The Miami Beach Jazz Festival will be going back to the basics and will showcase performances from exceptional true jazz artists.”

Michelle Coltrane represents a strong legacy of performers in the Jazz World. The only daughter of John and ‘Alice Coltrane, her first CD was released in 1994. “I Think Of You” a collaboration with musician and composer Scott Hiltzik produced a blend of classic and contemporary Jazz. “The Jazz Times” noted the recording to be deeply rooted in the Jazz tradition and was well received including winning a YES award. Her current project is in collaboration with guitarist Shea Welsh (performing with Michelle at the Festival), who is also the musical director for her band. Michelle and Shea are writing new material, and arranging new and classic standards to create the bands unique modern/retro sound.

The announced addition of headliner Michelle Coltrane rounds out a full slate of true jazz performances. Also appearing on the bill will be the duo of Brazilian jazz guitarist Joe Carter and flautist Ali Ryerson; award winning jazz pianist Markus Gottschlich; violinist Mads Tolling; and the South Florida Jazz Orchestra featuring Special Guest performers including Michelle Coltrane and Ed
Calle.

From now through October 15th, student musicians and bands from all over South Florida will be able to apply for a competition that could lead them to be chosen as the opening act for the Festival. Applications are available at the website: www.miamibeachjazz.com. Each student who enters will be given a ticket to the Festival as well as a free pass to the series of three master classes being taught by some of the featured artists at the Betsy Hotel on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach during the week prior to the Festival.

“We’re going ‘Old School’ for this event and bringing the people of South Florida a true Jazz event that they can be proud of!” Mr. Cartiglia goes on to say that “this is the start of an annual Jazz festival that will grow with each year and establish Miami Beach as the home for ‘True Jazz’ and the revival Jazz is enjoying.”

The Festival is being sponsored by Atlantic Broadband, The Road Less Traveled: Project Ecuador, Bloomingdale’s, ArtMiami.TV and Cynthia & Lance Geller.

Welcome Miami Baby Boomers to Miami Disco Fever the event that will take you back to the glory years of Miami, Florida. The magical year’s of the 70’s 80’s and 90’s. The Miami Magic began in the early 70’s with the explosion of the world wide movement of the Miami Sound with the first disco record ever recorded “Rock Your Baby” by George Mc Crae at a Hialeah recording studio named TK Records. Remember Jimmy Bo Horne? With the disco mega hit “Dance Across The Floor” or what about the Hialeah High student named Harry Casey who started a band called KC and The Sunshine Band. What about the disco classic “Ring My Bell” by Anita Ward. Ray Martinez “If There’s Love” how many dance floors fill with that song. Yes the list goes on. Get the picture. Hialeah was a sleepy town during the 70’s while at the south end of the city a young man started a revolution in the music business. His name was Mr. Henry Stone he is known as the man who founded the “Miami Sound”. With over 25 million records sold during the 70s TK Records based out of Hialeah started the world -wide music movement that placed Miami on the international map of entertainment.

The historical significance of producing this event in Hialeah is evident. TK Records, Mr. Henry Stone will be honored at the Miami Disco Fever Reunion by the City of Hialeah at the city’s historical landmark and newly developed state of the art Milander Performance Art Center. Be part of history as the event will be filmed as a documentary of the Sound of Miami with Mr. Henry Stone.

The concert will be held at the Plumosa School of the Arts Auditorium, 2501 Seacrest Blvd., Delray Beach. Tickets are $35 for general admission and $75 for VIP and can be purchased at: www.plumosafoundation.org.

MUSIC BY:
Benji Candelario
Benji Candelario has sustained his presences as one of the foremost DJ/Producer’s ever to grace the scene. Spanning all genres of club music, his signature sound captures the essence of the culturally vibrant New York club scene, distinguishing him as a quintessential DJ, and visionary producer/musician. Developing an impeccable reputation internationally with some of biggest names in the industry, his productions have had more aliases than Smith and Jones, … Station Q, Bass Hit, The Element, Swing 52, New Hippie Movement, and Central Park. But whatever the name, Candelario’s fans can always tell who’s behind that trademark beat chugging, bass line driven, anthem praising, dance floor dominating sound that has been acclaimed timeless by many of his peers.

His latest venture Transitori Music, an extension of his production company 2nd color Entertainment, is Candelario’s own digital imprint. His mission is to release forward-thinking music from a diverse roster of up and coming artist. Rather than concentrating on a specific style, Candelario aims to have a platform where he can truly express creative freedom through a varied selection of music. So far it has proven true, having licensed several of his past releases to the likes of Ministry of Sound and several other European and Japanese labels.

Though his many productions have been praised around the world, Benji is always quick to point out his roots. He is a DJ foremost that produces records and not a producer that now DJs. He is in his element playing the hottest clubs (from the dark, underground spots to the big rooms) in Ibiza, Greece, UK, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Canada and the U.S.

Without compromising his expansive knowledge and exquisite taste, his style remains fun and accessible. When Benji plays he takes care to bring his listeners with him on his musical journey and makes sure they stay with him the whole party through. It has always been important to him that people understand and enjoy his unique musical point of view, making him a favorite with promoters and club goers alike.

Soulscience
Mikkel Dankner aka Soulscience is a DJ and producer who showcases functional, dynamic, and energetic music programming. With over twenty years experience, he has been holding residencies at impressive locations throughout New York and Miami catering to the aurally adventurous and hose of sophisticated musical taste.

Aside from DJing, Mikkel is also a music producer. His first release was in 2001 on Yoruba Records with a remix of Erro’s ‘Change For Me.’ The record’s great success came from its unique fusion of broken beat and soul-drenched deep house, earning it future classic status. From that point on, he had been involved in numerous projects such as Open Aire, which was featured earlier this year on the popular BBC television drama, ‘The Syndicate.’ Additionally, Mikkel has set forth plans to launch his label BTWN SPKRS to serve as an outlet for music producers alike. This is a dedicated artist that continues to deliver music for the modern soul.

Rent parties were held frequently during the 1920s in Harlem, New York and the Southern States. It is a social occasion where tenants hire a musician or band to play and pass the hat to raise money to pay their rent, originating in Harlem during the 1920s. Rent parties played a major role in the development of jazz and blues music. We won’t be passing the hat around, but join us for a night of some prohibition era vibes and great live jazz music.

For those who prefer to hear the ivories tickled, The Flat is launching an intimate, live music experience every Wednesday featuring local guest musicians curated by renowned South Florida jazz vocalist Randy Singer.

Nestled in the South of Fifth Street neighborhood, the recently launched Parisian piano lounge has carved a nightlife niche for itself as the quintessential, intimate venue for apéritifs and digestifs compliments of an extensive artisanal cocktail menu served in a sophisticated yet cozy jewel box setting.

“It’s all about the before experience,” explains owner Cedric Adegnika, a well-known South Beach nightlife fixture. “In Europe, there is the ‘in-between’, a place you want to go before dinner, the club or bed.”

Since their inception in 1999, the traditional Cuban Son ensemble Conjunto Progreso, has taken audiences back in time to the nostalgic era of early Cuban popular music. Led by Johnny Aguiló, son of Cuban trumpet legend and band leader Rolando “El Ruso” Aguiló, Conjunto Progreso has grown from a quartet, to its recent incarnation of eight members. In 2004, Conjunto Progreso released its long awaited debut album titled Masters of Cuban Son, featuring an array of songs by legendary Cuban composers Nico Saquito, Miguel Matamoros, and Compay Segundo. The album was honored by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences with a 2006 Grammy Award Nomination under the category of Best Traditional Tropical Latin Album. www.facebook.com/conjuntoprogreso

PALO! is a favorite among South Florida’s live music devotees and in 2012 was named Miami New Times’ BEST BAND in the Readers’ Choice Awards. The group plays a style of extremely danceable music they call “Afro-Cuban Funk”. Their appeal lies in their unmatched musical energy, catchy original songs, and amazing display of impromptu virtuosity. A mix of Latin and Urban sounds gives PALO! their unique, infectious style. Formed in 2003, when Steve Roitstein invited fellow musicians Leslie Cartaya (vocals), Philbert Armenteros (vocals, percussion), Ed Calle (sax) and Raymer Olalde (vocals, percussion) to join him in an improvised musical experiment, PALO! combines Cuban music with funk beats. PALO has performed for packed houses at New York’s legendary SOB’s, Ryles Jazz Club and Villa Victoria Center for the Arts in Boston, and the Chicago Folk and Roots Festival. The band often appears at venues throughout South Florida. Their first CD, “This Is Afro-Cuban Funk” is available on gopalo.com as well as in music stores, on iTunes and other digital stores. www.GoPalo.com

GWAR (popularly thought to be an acronym for God What an Awful Racket, despite the band’s protests to the contrary) are thrash metal’s answer to the more mainstream satire of Spinal Tap. Gory, sexually perverse, and scatological in the extreme, GWAR claimed to consist of all-powerful interplanetary warriors, descended from aliens stranded in Antarctica and initially created from the lowest filth in the universe, who came to Earth to sexually enslave and/or slaughter the human race. The group quickly established a unique identity as the members performed in bizarre costumes made of latex and papier-mâché, while the stage show itself featured fake pagan rituals, corpses spewing washable bodily fluids on the audience, and sometimes a mechanical giant maggot. GWAR’s live performances are literally the most mind-blowing act you will see today!

The much loved all-girl pop pioneers The Go-Go’s will bring beauty, the beat and beyond to the Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek on Saturday, September 28 at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale on Sunday, July 28.

From their halcyon days as America’s sweethearts to their current status as superstars who pioneered a genre, The Go-Go’s have enjoyed an amazing three-decade reign as high pop priestesses. The internationally-loved hitmakers helped cement the foundation of the early ‘80s pop-rock sound without the aid of outside composers, session players or, most importantly, creative compromise. From their very first show, the group sang and played their own songs, offering five feisty role models for a generation of ready-to-rock girls and good, hooky fun for pop-loving guys.

For The Go-Go’s, their story truly is a punk version of the American Dream. The Go-Go’s debuted in May of 1978, a time when there were other all-female bands, but ones orchestrated by men such as Phil Spector, Kim Fowley or Sonny Bono. The band was conceived in the very same gritty glitter of the rough Los Angeles scene that also birthed X, The Germs, and The Weirdos. By ’79, the Go-Go’s were beating their path to stardom on their own terms. They played every cool club and party in Los Angeles and released an early version of “We Got the Beat” through the quirky Stiff Records in the UK.

By 1981, the band was signed to upstart new wave haven IRS records with Beauty and The Beat, and the infectious debut U.S. single, “Our Lips Are Sealed,” was released. The double-platinum Beauty and The Beat reached #1 and was followed-up by Vacation in ‘82 and Talk Show in ’84. During those years, hits like “Vacation,” “Head Over Heels” and “Turn to You” dominated the airwaves and, today, continue to live on in countless compilations, movie soundtracks, remakes and television commercials.

Miami native Karina Iglesias takes center stage at Unity on the Bay to perform her usual boleros, jazzy-pop style of hip-hop and American classics on Friday, July 12, 2013 at 8:00 pm. Iglesias, as seen on NBC’s #1 hit TV show ‘The Voice’, performs with Nu-Thang and special guest artist Monique Abbadie. Tickets on sale at www.unityonthebay.org. Ticketed pre-party reception starts at 7pm.

“This concert is my own spin on top popular music. It’s my personal vocal touch on a mix of jazz, pop, and blues songs along with some new, original material,” said Iglesias, songwriter and singer. This is Iglesias’s first concert since leaving ‘The Voice’.

In 2013, Iglesias was a top 16 contestant on NBC’s #1 hit TV show ‘The Voice’. She was originally a member of Team Adam, after a two-chair audition that included Blake Shelton, and was later stolen by Shakira after her epic performance of “It’s a Man’s, Man’s, Man’s World”, which became a YouTube sensation.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida to Honduran parents, the saucy, soultress songwriter is a long-time South Florida vocal favorite. The Miami Dolphins hired her through Emilio Estefan to sing the anthem at all home games, as part of the ensemble Dolphin Voices, in 2009. She was featured on Univision’s Mira Quien Baila and has taken the stage with numerous Latin artists.

Adam Levine, ‘The Voice’ coach said after Iglesias audition: “I felt like for the first time on the show, that possibly, that towards the end, that the light fixtures were just gonna’ explode, because [she is] a great singer and [she] really deserves to be here, so congratulations.”

Special guest artist Monique Abbadie takes the stage with Iglesias and the Nu-Thang at the concert. Abbadie is a pop artist who has performed at the legendary House of Blues Los Angeles, Planet Hollywood Las Vegas and Miami’s Gusman Center, among many others places. She has also been on NBCs hit show ‘The Voice’ where she recently participated on Team Shakira.

Concert tickets are $25. Meet Iglesias in a private pre-party reception that starts at 7pm. Tickets for the reception and concert are $50. Tickets can be purchased at www.unityonthebay.org or at Unity on the Bay’s The Source Bookstore, 411 NE 21st Street, Miami, FL 33137.

Cost: 0 – $10

Two of South Florida’s premiere musical acts will converge at the Design District venue known for showcasing the area’s best and brightest artists. Humbert and Ketchy Shuby will co-headline the evening after Independence Day, in what promises to be a high-energy night of rock and soul.

Scene veterans Humbert will bring flavorful melodies, Beach Boy-tinged harmonies and relentless rock power to The Stage in what will be only their second performance there after May’s Sound Theory Live relaunch on Wynwood Radio party. The four-piece is poised to release their first set of new music since 2006, which should be available online and on CD in August of this year.

“Very few bands are greater in weight than Humbert – Ketchy Shuby is one of them and we are very happy to be sharing the stage with them,” offers Humbert’s colorful frontman Ferny Coipel. “Pound for pound, they are heavier than us.”

Ketchy Shuby’s explosive funk jams coupled with the group’s soulful tunesmith and the manic-energy of lead singer /guitarist Jason Joshua Hernandez-Rodriguez have kept them extremely busy this year. Coming off spring a Midwestern tour that took them through the Austin, TX mega-music festival SXSW, the band caught the attention of Spin Magazine. Their momentum has carried them through early summer with near-weekly gigs throughout South Florida in support of their latest single “I’ll Take Care of You”.

When asked his thoughts on the pairing of the two bands, Hernandez-Rodriguez simply says: “Humbert is my favorite band of all time. That’s all.”

Also performing July 5th are DJ Heron and DJ Methods; food will be provided for a nominal fee by Monte’s Country Cajun Cooking food truck. Admission to the event is free before 10 p.m., $10 afterwards. For more information and to buy tickets, visit www.thestagemiami.com. The show is open to those 21 & over.

AMIGOS FOR KIDS HOSTED SOLD OUT ING MIAMI CELEBRITY DOMINO NIGHT

Amigos For Kids, the Miami-based nonprofit organization that aims to prevent child abuse and neglect by valuing children, strengthening families and educating communities, hosted its signature annual fundraiser, ING Miami Celebrity Domino Night on the evening of Sat., June 15 in Miami, Fla. More than 2,000 guests took part in the sold-out event, celebrated by many as “Miami’s most popular fundraiser.” “Amigos For Kids is grateful to have celebrated one of our more highly successful ING Miami Celebrity Domino Nights, and we want to offer a special thank you to corporate sponsors ING U.S., Bacardi USA, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and all other sponsors who made this evening possible,” said Rosa Maria Plasencia, president and CEO of Amigos For Kids. “This year we exceeded our fundraising goals, with almost one hundred thousand dollars more than last year, and it was thanks to the countless AMIGOS that believe in our mission and the work that we do in the South Florida community. We are happy to have shared such a great evening with our corporate, media and restaurant sponsors, celebrities, community leaders, our hard-working staff, and every person who attended the event.” The evening featured celebrity domino players, bar courtesy of presenting sponsor, Bacardí USA, and an exciting silent auction featuring the original artwork for this year’s painting by Carlos Navarro, “Conga y Domino.”  Guests also enjoyed a live performance by one of Miami’s hottest bands “The Culture”, as well as with the electrifying rhythms of DJ Irie, of the Miami Heat.

Using the “Bonfyre” app, attendees were able to share photos, post comments and interact with other guests during the event. More than 100 celebrities walked the Orange Carpet alongside some of the celebrity hosts, which served to highlight and support the importance of the organization’s mission leading up to and during the event. Celebrity hosts in attendance included, Latin diva Charytin; Real Housewives of Miami Ana Quincoces; television news anchors Alina Mayo Azze of Univision 23; telenovela stars Juan Soler and Maki Soler;  “El Gordo y La Flaca’s” Lili Estefan; and music icon Emilio Estefan Jr., longtime supporter of the organization. During ING Miami Celebrity Domino Night, guests were treated to an array of local flavors and “dinner-by-the-bite” provided by some of Miami’s most popular restaurants and chefs, including Catharsis Restaurant and Lounge; Klass, Garcia Sausages and Belle Baking by Sunshine Promotions; Jungle Island; Sushi Maki; Mena Catering; Pasta Factory; Papa John’s Pizza; Versailles; Farm Stores; Goya Foods; Tuyo Restaurant; Elite Cake Creations; Paellas R Us; Baptist Health South Florida; Café 1909; Crazy Fork Restaurant; Café Pilón; and Los Ranchos Steak House.

ING U.S., in its ninth consecutive year as title sponsor, and Bacardi were presented with a special edition painting created by renowned Miami Pop Artist, Carlos Navarro that characterized all 11 years of Miami Celebrity Domino Night. Rhonda Mims, president of the ING Foundation and head of the Office of Corporate Responsibility, and Maggie Gonzalez, Corporate Sponsorships & Events coordinator, from Bacardi accepted the commemorative gifts on behalf of their organizations. “The energy and excitement at this year’s ING Miami Celebrity Domino Night was fantastic,” said Rhonda Mims, president of the ING Foundation and Head of Office of Corporate Responsibility ING U.S. “The success of the event is a tribute to the Miami community and the Amigos For Kids organization. Miami should be commended for the tremendous outpouring of support for this event, and in turn, the children served by the Amigos For Kids programs.” First year event platinum sponsor, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. joined ING U.S., Bacardi and celebrity hosts on stage as the Amigos For Kids Board of Directors expressed their thanks to all major sponsors, including gold sponsors, Academica, Baptist Health South Florida, Greenberg Traurig, Macy’s and Walmart; Entertainment sponsor, Dra. Maribel Santa Cruz, a recurring sponsor of the event, made it possible for guests to enjoy hours of continuous music and dancing. Proceeds from the event make it possible for Amigos to provide diverse services to children and families throughout the year. Some of these services include an after-school program at Jose Martí Park; annual back-to-school and holiday toy drives; and its year-round child abuse awareness and prevention efforts, its There’s No Excuse For Child Abuse!  campaign, and the “Amigos Strengthens Families & Communities Nurturing Parent” program.

Berg, University of Miami Dean of the Phillip and Patricia Frost School of Music.  "The CAP Conservatory for the Arts provides high-quality music education to children, many of whom would otherwise be denied access to the wonder of music and the beauty of the artistic spirit."  
 
"We are very excited to again present a diverse and world-class line up of artists," says Mark Hart, Executive & Artistic Director of the Community Arts Program.  "It’s an honor to welcome concert goers from across the state and as far away as Europe, and rewarding to see the growth of our music education program for kids!  In all, we’ve come to provide exceptional cultural and educationally-enriching experiences for more than 3,000 children and adults each year!"

Fresh off the release of her hit single “Moon of Dreams” featuring T-Pain, Rising star Egine is set to take over the Heineken Dwntwn Miami Concert Series with a free performance. 

Born to play music, Egine inherited her gifts from her father, an accomplished Bass player, and mother, a singer and vocal instructor.  At the age of three, Egine and her family left the natural, financial and political unrest in her native Armenia and migrated to Russia.  Her musical instruction started shortly thereafter at the age of seven and continued through high school, culminating in her enrollment at the State Music College of Pop & Jazz Arts in Moscow. Over the years, she has earned recognition for her craft, bringing home the Young Talents of Russia Award and being named the “Grand Champion Performer” at The World Championship of Performing Arts.  Since then, her career has sky rocketed as she won Best New Artist award in the Armenian Music Awards 2012, and reached 2 Million YouTube views on her 1st U.S. released single "If We Let It Go."

Egine broke into the Miami music scene with “Moon of Dreams,” which brought in 3.7 million hits on her YouTube channel, as well as garnered buzz from leading press outlets such as MTV, Sirus XM, Associated Press, Fuse, Artist Direct, and more.

One Drop Theory- EP Release Showcase

Dimensions Variable
100 NE 11th Street
Miami, FL 33132.

Join us for a one night EP release showcase for Miami’s indielectro pop duo One Drop Theory.

Dimensions Variable is pleased to host the CD release event for Miami’s indielectro pop duo One Drop Theory. The event will be on Friday, June 28th, 2013 at 8pm. The duo will perform live and cocktails will be served.

One Drop Theory’s self titled release is a collaborative EP endeavor between Susie Green & Isaac Bichachi. After several years of working in the music industry as writers and producers, these two classically trained Miami musicians decided to combine past and future to create an alternate present. The album crafts One Drop Theory’s delicate composition sensibilities and mastery of synthesized sounds with powerful vocals.

Green’s melodic voice and sampler interventions weave life into Bichachi’s synthetic electronic and production. Tracks like Rails, an electronic instrumental roller coaster ride show off the duo’s passion for electronic compositions. The groups most hypnotic track called Fool’s Circle is best described by a quote from Albert Einstein: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result." This quote highlights the track and sheds light on how individuals and society don’t learn from their mistakes and continue to cycle around the same vicious loop. And finally, an anthem for all those who feel marginalized, Freak Flag establishes a banner in which to stand united.

Touch Me Hear is an experimental multimedia work commissioned by Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center (New York) that explores the relationship between touch, sound and movement. Body parts and its extensions such as hair and clothes become performable musical instruments. From skin sensations to complex digital tactile simulations, the piece exposes disappearing awareness between what can be felt and what actually is. A continuum of scenes filled with humor, solitude and emotionally charged movement contemplate the contemporary world of intertwined vibrations and modalities.

General admission tickets are $40 and reserved seating is $55. Tickets are available at www.ticketmaster.com. All ages show. Doors open one hour prior to show start time.Tickets go on sale on Sunday, June 2 at 8 a.m.

Whitesnake, fronted by Deep Purple vocalist David Coverdale, emerged on the music scene in 1977. Fairly popular in Europe and Japan, the band didn’t hit the American mainstream until 1984’s Slide It In – its first platinum album. Three years later, Whitesnake released an eponymous album (titled 1987 in Europe) that featured the hits “Still of the Night,” “Here I Go Again” and the power ballad, “Is This Love.”

In April of this year, the Whitesnake: Made in Japan DVD was released. Inspired by the performances from the nine sold-out UK shows and a further 87 performances from around the world, the live albums Made in Britain and the accompanying The World Record were born. Whitesnake will release the double live album, Made in Britain – The World Record, on July 9. Musicians on the albums include David Coverdale (vocals), Doug Aldrich (guitars), Reb Beach (guitars), Michael Devin (bass), Brian Tichy (drums) and special guest Brian Ruedy (keyboards).

Red Line Chemistry was formed in Kansas City, Mo, in 2004. Members include Tom Brown (bass, vocals), Mike Mazzarese (percussion), Dave Fyten (guitar, vocals), Andrew Breit (guitar, keyboards, vocals) and Brett Ditgen (lead vocals). Since the hard rock band released its full-length debut album, Chemical Hand & a Hand Grenade, Red Line Chemistry has performed with Stone Temple Pilots, Puddle of Mudd, Three Days Grace and many others. Their latest album, Tug of War, was released in May 2013 and was produced by Grammy-award winning producer Nick Raskulinecz who has worked with Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters and the Deftones.

“Shake Your Booty” with perennial pop favorites KC & The Sunshine Band at Seminole Casino Immokalee on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale Monday, June 10.

KC & The Sunshine Band is still as widely popular today as they were when they first danced onto the music scene nearly 40 years ago. Harry Wayne Casey – “KC,” for short – developed a unique fusion of R&B and funk, with a hint of a Latin percussion groove, yielding an impressive string of hits like “Get Down Tonight,” “That’s The Way (I Like It),” “Do You Wanna Go Party” and “Shake Your Booty.” With sales of over 100 million records, nine Grammy nominations, three Grammy Awards and an American Music Award, KC & The Sunshine Band was one of the most progressive bands of the ‘70s and is credited with changing the sound of modern pop music.

Miami’s own Harry Wayne Casey (KC), started working in the music business at age 17, performing menial tasks around the T.K. Records/Studio complex in his hometown. Together with Richard Finch, a budding studio engineer prodigy at TK Records, they formed KC & The Sunshine Band in the early 1970s.

Their first record, Blow Your Whistle, made the top 15 on the R&B chart. With the release of the self-titled triple platinum second album in 1975 came the group’s first major US hits with “Get Down Tonight,” “That’s the Way (I Like It),” “Boogie Shoes” and “Rock Your Baby.” KC & The Sunshine Band became the first act to score four #1 pop singles in one 12-month period since the Beatles in 1964. Three of those singles crossed over to become #1 R&B, as well. The 1976 album, Part 3, also went triple platinum and yielded the #1 singles “I’m Your Boogie Man,” “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty” and “Keep It Comin’ Love.”

The band’s momentum continued when “Boogie Shoes” was included on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. “Please Don’t Go” and “Yes, I’m Ready”, a duet with high school friend Teri DeSario, also became favorites. KC returned to the charts in 1983 with “Give It Up”, which also hit #1 in the UK.

KC won a songwriting Grammy in 1976 for best R&B song for “Where is the Love” which was recorded by Betty Wright. He also received Grammy Awards for Album of the Year, as well as Producer of the Year in 1978 for his work on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

In 1995, he recorded Get Down Live, a concert album that was gleaned from his performances in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Peru and Melbourne, Australia. KC’s “The Best of KC and The Sunshine Band” went gold in 1999. In 2001, KC released an album of all-new material entitled I’ll Be There For You. Proceeds from the title song, released as a single, were donated to the September 11 relief effort.
In 2002 KC received the coveted Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where Dick Clark and music producer Michael Lloyd turned out to honor him. That same year, That’s The Way I Like It – The Harry Wayne Casey Story was published.

Since then, the band has enjoyed a surge in popularity. Their music has been featured in over 75 movies, video games, sporting events and TV shows including Desperate Housewives, American Idol and Dancing With The Stars. Music acts like White Zombie, Baha Men and Beyoncé Knowles have covered his music. Their infectious grooves and bass lines have been sampled by R. Kelly, Snoop Dogg and Trick Daddy, to name a few.

Advance tickets start at $30 and are available at the Casino Cage or by calling 1-800-218-0007. Day of show tickets are $35.

This week, we will welcome back Adrian Knight from Sweden/New York and Daniel Manoiu, Richard Yates, Rodrigo Bussad and Matthew Taylor, the four graduate composition students from University of Miami on the rise. The evening will feature music for electric and acoustic guitars, violin, saxophone, narration and, of course, a copious amount of electronics. The works will showcase various experimental practices in electronic music. While some musicians will explore large sonic trance-like washes, others will investigate the power of pitch and rhythmic repetitions as contrasted with the principles of indeterminacy. If you are curious about learning how symbiosis and diversion manifest themselves in music and how live electronics can facilitate an inner journey, this is an event for you.

Sound Theory Live to Relaunch on Wynwood Radio May 10
Award-winning music program celebrates return at The Stage Miami

After four years of broadcasting on local jazz station WDNA, the musical performance and interview program Sound Theory Live has found a new home: Wynwood Radio.

“We’re excited about resuming Sound Theory Live with our new media partners Wynwood Radio and look forward to bringing the global listening public even more compelling programming and music,” says founder and host Carlos F. Garcia, who also owns the show’s brick and mortar venue, The Stage Miami. “We invite everyone to celebrate with us at The Stage on Friday, May 10th, 2013 beginning at 7 p.m. for an extended two-hour show or listen in on the web. Following the show, Wynwood Radio will continue to stream live from The Stage with acts and DJs throughout the night.”

Adds Wynwood Radio’s Vice President and Director Vicente Solis: “We are delighted to be Sound Theory Live’s new home and media partners. Carlos and his team have many positive liaisons with the different Miami musical scenes. We believe that his show, in an online radio environment, can thrive, become more agile, fun and can also enhance the opportunity for community expansion that Wynwood Radio nurtures as part of its DNA.”

The move to web won’t change the show format, which according to the program website is “geared towards promoting the great local musicians by showcasing their talents live on the radio.” It will allow for greater content freedom and a looser format not beholden to news updates and public service announcements. Garcia adds: “The show expects to have increased flexibility both in programming and in location. We hope to bring the show to venues and events all over South Florida to help continue moving the Miami music scene forward!”

Once again the show will feature Garcia, voted Miami New Times’ “Best FM Radio Personality” in 2010, as the host, with the assistance of co-hosts Sasha Torres, co-owner of The Stage, venue booking agent Eric Garcia and show veteran, Andrea Alarcon.

Slated to play live and be interviewed on the maiden Wynwood Radio webcast are: Afrobeta, Electric Piquete, Brendan O’Hara, Radioboxer, Humbert, The Problem Kids, Bachaco as well as veteran Miami DJs DJ Sire Esq., DJ Manuvers and many more.

For the first time ever performing at Miami’s New World Center, celebrated jazz artist and pianist Keiko Matsui will join special guest Al Di Meola for a never before seen concert event featuring both artists as well as Keiko’s band.  Matsui is known around the world for her innovative contemporary jazz performances and Di Meola for blending world music and jazz; this performance will feature Keiko’s songs, including some from her new album, as well as Di Meola’s original work, of which several will be performed together.

Their uniting for this unique performance is being hailed as one of the most widely anticipated events of the year set to take place in one of the most stunning music halls in the United States.
With over 1.2 million units sold in the U.S. alone and sold-out appearances at concert venues across the world, Matsui is one of the leading artists in the genre. Her elegant piano melodies and gentle jazz grooves have broad appeal and she continuously delights critics and fans alike.

Al Di Meola is accepted as a bona fide guitar hero, perennial poll-winner and proclaimed virtuoso of the highest order.  For over 30 years, Di Meola has been recognized as a prolific composer and respected artist with over 20 recordings as a leader.  Albums such as “Friday Night in San Francisco” have earned him both artistic and commercial success with a solid fan base throughout the world.

This event at the New World Center will be the first time that Matsui and Di Meola will have performed together, and this is the only show currently scheduled featuring both artists.

The New World Center is home to the New World Symphony. In less than two decades, the New World Symphony has become a leading cultural institution in South Florida, generating audiences and critical acclaim around the world.

Marilyn Manson at Fillmore Miami Beach 7/21/13

Popular Shock Rocker South Florida’s own Marilyn Manson comes to the intimate Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre. Picture Me Broken opens the show.

Love him or hate him, the self-proclaimed "Antichrist Superstar" – Marilyn Manson — was indisputably among the most notorious and controversial entertainers ever.  Starting out as Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids, they had become one of the most popular acts in the South Florida area.  Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor came calling, offering both a contract with his Nothing Records label as well as the chance to open for NIN; Manson accepted both offers, and the group’s debut LP, Portrait of an American Family, appeared during the summer of 1994. The group’s notoriety began to soar and during an appearance in Salt Lake City, Manson ripped apart a copy of the Book of Mormon while on-stage. Celebrated by supporters as a crusader for free speech Manson was the latest in a long line of shock rockers, rising to the top of the charts on a platform of sex, drugs, and Satanism. His brand of metal struck a major chord with the youth market, and he became a mainstream anti-hero. Such attention pushed many of his songs — including "The Dope Show," "The Beautiful People," and a cover of the Eurythmics’ "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" — into the upper reaches of the modern rock charts.

Postmodern ironists cloaked behind a veil of buoyantly melodic and lushly romantic synth pop confections, Pet Shop Boys, vocalist Neil Tennant and  keyboardist Chris Lowe, established themselves among the most commercially and critically successful groups of their era with cheeky, smart, and utterly danceable music. Always remaining one step ahead of their contemporaries, the British duo navigated the constantly shifting landscape of modern dance-pop with rare grace and intelligence, moving easily from disco to house to techno with their own distinctive image remaining completely intact. Satiric and irreverent — yet somehow strangely affecting — they also transcended the seeming disposability of their craft, offering wry and thoughtful cultural commentary communicated by the Morse code of au courant synth washes and drum-machine rhythms. With hits like: "West End Girls," "It’s a Sin” "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" and "New York City Boy" they constantly rose to the top of the charts.  On July 16th they release their latest effort Electric.  Electric features nine tracks in total – eight brand new Pet Shop Boys’ songs plus a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “The Last to Die.”  The result is as uncompromising a collection of dance anthems as Pet Shop Boys have ever made. 
 
General Admission tickets are $49.50 and go on sale Friday, April 26TH / 10AM at LiveNation.com or charge by phone 800-745-3000 and at the Fillmore Box Office during normal business hours (Mon. – Fri., 11AM – 6PM and during show days).  Limited VIP seating is also available.

Sound Theory Live to Relaunch on Wynwood Radio May 10

Award-winning music program celebrates return at The Stage Miami

Miami, FL – May 1, 2013 – After four years of broadcasting on local jazz station WDNA, the musical performance and interview program Sound Theory Live has found a new home: Wynwood Radio.

“We’re excited about resuming Sound Theory Live with our new media partners Wynwood Radio and look forward to bringing the global listening public even more compelling programming and music,” says founder and host Carlos F. Garcia, who also owns the show’s brick and mortar venue, The Stage Miami. “We invite everyone to celebrate with us at The Stage on Friday, May 10th, 2013 beginning at 7 p.m. for an extended two-hour show or listen in on the web. Following the show, Wynwood Radio will continue to stream live from The Stage with acts and DJs throughout the night.”

Adds Wynwood Radio’s Vice President and Director Vicente Solis: “We are delighted to be Sound Theory Live’s new home and media partners. Carlos and his team have many positive liaisons with the different Miami musical scenes. We believe that his show, in an online radio environment, can thrive, become more agile, fun and can also enhance the opportunity for community expansion that Wynwood Radio nurtures as part of its DNA.”

The move to web won’t change the show format, which according to the program website is “geared towards promoting the great local musicians by showcasing their talents live on the radio.” It will allow for greater content freedom and a looser format not beholden to news updates and public service announcements. Garcia adds: “The show expects to have increased flexibility both in programming and in location. We hope to bring the show to venues and events all over South Florida to help continue moving the Miami music scene forward!”

Once again the show will feature Garcia, voted Miami New Times’ “Best FM Radio Personality” in 2010, as the host, with the assistance of co-hosts Sasha Torres, co-owner of The Stage, venue booking agent Eric Garcia and show veteran, Andrea Alarcon.

Slated to play live and be interviewed on the maiden Wynwood Radio webcast are: Afrobeta, Electric Piquete, Brendan O’Hara, Radioboxer, Humbert, The Problem Kids, Bachaco as well as veteran Miami DJs DJ Sire Esq., DJ Manuvers and many more. There are some surprise guests in store as well. The festivities and webcast commence May 10 at 7 p.m., during the show’s usual slot and time, and will continue through 9 p.m. Subsequently, Sound Theory Live will assume it’s regularly scheduled time on Wynwood Radio and be webcast from locations across South Florida and re-aired on Sunday afternoons, and potentially during other days and times.

Admission to the event at The Stage is free until 11 p.m. and $5 thereafter; enjoy 2-for-1 happy hour drink specials from 6 to 9 p.m. and other specials throughout the night. You can listen live on the web by navigating to www.wynwoodradio.com.
