Little Havana Social Club Returns with Miami Debut of Septeto Santiaguero

Miami Dade College’s (MDC) Koubek Center, su casa de cultura, re-ignites it’s starlit social dance series, the Little Havana Social Club, with the Miami debut of Septeto Santiaguero–direct from Cuba–at 8 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 14.

“What better way to bring back the series than with this historic band, indulging us with their rich musical tradition that has influenced so many in this community,” says Jessica Gloria, Manager of the Koubek Center. “Our goal is to make this series at the Koubek Center into a place of gathering for Latin music and dance enthusiasts. There is already a tremendous buzz in the neighborhood.”

The Latin Grammy- and Cubadisco- winning group Septeto Santiaguero developed their signature sound at the famous Casa de la Trova nightclub in Santiago de Cuba–the cradle of son and bolero. Their balance of tradition with experimentation has sparked collaborations with salsa stars like José Alberto “El Canario” and Rubén Blades. This show marks their Miami debut and their premiere U.S. tour.

The Little Havana Social Club is a series dedicated to celebrating Latin American heritage through music and dance. The concerts and dance parties promote community and engagement–from the dance floor to the domino tables, each evening featuring vibrant live bands, pre-concert dance lessons, and community vendors. Situated in the lush gardens of the historic Koubek Center mansion, the performances are preceded by a complimentary dance lesson, and followed by an afterparty with a DJ. Specialty food and cocktails are available for purchase.

Coming events in the series include an Argentine Valentine’s Milonga with Argot Tango Quintet on February 18; Puerto Rican bomba and plena by Plena Es on March 25; and Afro-Colombian Rhythms from Herencia de Timbiqui on April 22.

About Septeto Santiaguero
Septeto Santiaguero was founded in 1995, as a number of young musicians from other septets, such as Sones de Oriente or Septeto Luz, joined the famous Melodías de Ayer and Fernando Dewar, a tres player, took over the leadership. Seeking to return to their roots, they decided to give up the mambos and stick to the discipline of the traditional septet – guitar, tres, bongo, clave, maracas, acoustic bass and trumpet–with the addition of the drum, which they retained in honor of Arsenio Rodríguez. In the Santiago de Cuba style, the two singers maintain the first and second harmony with equal emphasis.

Despite the fact that the group is eight in number, they retained the name Septeto Santiaguero because of the way they perform the son, the bolero, the guaracha, the guajira, and the guaguancó, which are completely rooted in the septeto sound. Together they have a created a group which preserves and pays homage to one of Cuba’s most important musical forms, with a vitality demonstrating that the septeto tradition is still fresh and alive in Santiago de Cuba today.

About The Koubek Center
The Koubek Center–su casa de cultura– is an intellectual, cultural, and community hub in the heart of Little Havana. A historic landmark in South Florida, the revitalized mansion remains true to its pioneering heritage–celebrating its multicultural community with workshops, art exhibitions, theater performances, literary readings, concerts and more. In addition to the mansion, the iconic space includes glorious gardens, the Koubek theater, the ArtSpace gallery, classrooms, and mini performance spaces.

South Florida JAZZ presents the renowned New York Standards Quartet on Saturday, January 7, 2017 at 7:45 PM at the Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus, 3100 Ray Ferrero Jr Blvd, Davie 33314. Tickets are $40 ($10 for students under age 25 with valid I.D.) and can be purchased from Ticketmaster either online via southfloridajazz.org or by calling 954-462-0222.

Four jazz master musicians formed the New York Standards Quartet (NYSQ) in 2006. The concept was a straightforward one: play jazz standards in a unique way. After performing a lot of original music they thought it would be liberating to play music based on conventional, standard jazz tunes that they had grown up playing. The band has been touring and developing together for more than ten years, and it definitely shows in the empathetic cohesion of the players. Audiences respond well to familiar music that is fresh sounding, accessible, and hard-swinging.

ARTISTIC PERSONNEL
Tim Armacost – tenor & soprano saxophones, flute
David Berkman – piano
Ugonna Okegwo – acoustic bass
Gene Jackson – drums

Funding for South Florida JAZZ is provided in part by grant from the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Division

Two Miami icons team up to take you on a culinary world-tour on New Year’s Eve.

Pitbull embodies the Miami vibe: hip, cool and the ultimate entertainer. There is no one better to host a New Year’s Eve party than Mr. Worldwide himself. And when he thought to turn this party into a culinary affair, he only needed to look at the top of Miami’s Who’s Who. At the top of that list is none other than James Beard Award-winning chef, Michelle Bernstein.

The party will take place smack in the middle of all the celebration at Bayfront Park in downtown Miami. But this isn’t a party for the masses. This private event is a limited ticket event. So while 150,000 people party outside, patrons will be enjoying the VIP treatment within Worldwide NYE. The ticket includes everything: food, wine, spirits and a champagne toast at midnight.

There will be 15 to 20 food stations. Each station will have a signature dish created by Chef Bernstein. The spirit of this event is truly a “worldwide” experience. Each dish will focus on a different region of the world. In addition to the culinary delights, there are several signature cocktails to enjoy plus perfectly paired wine and craft beer. These signature cocktails are masterfully created by award-winning mixologist Julio Cabrera. Julio earned the title of Bartender of the Year and also named “America’s Most Imaginative Bartender” by GQ Magazine where he also graced the cover. Enjoy all the creations while taking in the Fox broadcast “Pitbull’s New Year’s Revolution” live from the private party.

Please note this is a 21+ event. Questions: Email us or check the website for more details.

January’s book discussion group features the memoir of artist Samson Kambalu, whose exhibition, Nyau Cinema, is currently on view at NSU Art Museum.

Photographs by Anthony Jordon of Art Africa on December 4, 2016

Posted on    by

The future is a site that does not exist yet, but one to be configured in a mental space. For the 2016 Annual Art Africa Miami, Afrotopia is a prospective thought. Thus, this 6th edition strives in the present-time to make it happen. Afrotopia is the atopos of the African Diaspora: that place not yet inhabited by a Diaspora to come. It is about investing in it through thought and imagination. The sequences that structure the temporality of African Diaspora societies is the future on which we can fully act upon, by conceiving and giving it a body. There is no historical fatality to which African Diaspora societies would be submitted to, as far as they conceive their future, have a vision of it and act in the present-time to transform our reality. 

AFROTOPIA is a site in which, forms of upcoming articulations; individual and collective are drawn and configured.

The arts are the first site where the existential of the contemporary diasporic African is perhaps the best expressed — its collective being and singular experience of individual destiny, but also its dreams and projections. The end of a “world” that segregation and colonialism constituted were grasped by writers such as James Baldwin and Chinua Achebe. The failures and disillusions of integration in the African Diaspora and independence on the continent and in the Caribbean, the quartering and ambiguity of consciousness torn between cultures, the shadows of the Police killing and clarity of Black Lives Matter; as well as the poetry of the real grasped through hip hop; these constitute existential challenges AFROTOPIA addresses.

The artists assembled in this 6th edition the various programs in the 2016 edition engage more intimate and personal questions, more existential ones: the quest for self, hybridity, individuality and interior freedom. Some want to oppose them to the previous generation which would have better expressed the vox populis and the soul of its community. It happens that independently from the option chosen by the ones or the others, whether political, social or intimate, their works have all expressed the individual and collective experiences of the African Diaspora; it is a question of decorum and perspective.  The most personal questions still have the social context as background and, inversely, the social problematics have testified to the interior individual tensions. Some of the works presented in this 6th edition perfectly succeed at that setting in abyss of individual destinies, on a background of political and social history. They explore the manner in which to inhabit a plurality of worlds and to navigate between their banks; to unveil the shadow of the days to come and fixate the imaginary spaces in a hard and poetic aesthetic.

AFROTOPIA thinks the African Diaspora as site in which to erect our humanity with its shadows and lights but also interrogating new identity constructions on a background of memory, forgetting and reminiscences.

This 2016 Art Africa which poses an acute gaze on contemporary African Diaspora has something to say about the Diaspora in becoming and the world as we would want to see it. The combination of visual arts, fashion and style in the 2016 Art Africa then becomes spaces where the genius in creativity of forms by African Diaspora and their aptitudes to synthesis, recycling and remodeling express themselves in all their splendor.

AFROTOPIA is then that space of the possible that is yet to be realized but which nothing insurmountable impeaches the advent. The 2016 Art Africa will show that there is a continuity between the real and the possible; we only have to find where the latter hides; to think and work for the conditions of its materialization by lifting the obstacles; the limits are always mental.

Photographs of INK Art Fair 12/3/16

Posted on    by

The small, but interesting INK Art Fair is one of our favorites! It features works on paper, prints and work that you will not see anywhere else. For example, one item we saw was a drawing of a capitol building from 1739. The oldest items we saw was from the 13th century. And they have work all the way up to today. It is a wonderful quiet respite from the noisy mayhem of many of the shows.

Miami, Fl.- Snowflakes, sugarplums, naughty little boys, and magical dolls! The charm of the Holidays fascinates all audiences, as Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida presents the classic ballet “The Nutcracker” to Tchaikovsky’s popular score based on the tale of Ernest Hoffman. The critically acclaimed unique production, choreographed and directed by Ballet Master Vladimir Issaev preserves the Russian tradition and serves as an alternative to those who already have seen Balanchine’s version.

This professional ballet company features already renowned dancers in the principal roles such as Mary Carmen Catoya, Daniel Sarabia, Lillian Hill, Hinano Eto and Kazuya Arima, along rising stars Janis Liu, Zihan Min, and Kevin Zong. The engaging choreography – from the fun of the party scene – to the harrowing battle scene- to the enchanting kingdom of the sweets – is guaranteed to entertain any age. Not only it is the most popular ballet enjoyed by all audiences around the world during this time of the year but it also serves as an introduction to ballet for the very young audiences.

The opening performance will take place on December 9 at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center running Saturday, December 10 and Sunday December 11 to then move to Parker Playhouse with a Nutcracker Gala on Friday, December 16th, offering a unique way to experience the magic of ballet while supporting the Company’s programs. People will enjoy a selection of wine and hors d’oeuvres, and the chance to bid on silent auction items that range from donations from weekend getaways, fine jewelry, and art pieces, followed by the performance. Two more performances follow on December 17 & 18 to close the Nutcracker season for the enjoyment of the entire family.

Don’t miss the opportunity to share the excitement and charm of the great tradition of the holidays with Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida during their extraordinary performances of “The Nutcracker.”

NYC based arts organization Art for Progress (AFP) teams up with local Miami artists to celebrate the link between Cuban and South Florida culture for Art Basel 2016. The events will take place in South Beach with an art exhibit opening on Friday evening and a rooftop- fashion, music and performance art event titled, “Cosa Rica” is set for Saturday night.
The art exhibition, “P.U.E.N.T.E.” which opens Friday evening (6:00pm – 9:00pm) December 2nd, will feature eleven artists (Nestor Arenas, Willie Avedano, Orestes De La Paz, Michael Gray, Catalina Jaramillo, Brandy Lynn, Guido Mena, Natasha Perdomo, Rafael Ramos, Cristina Victor) working in various mediums (paintings, sculpture, installation, textile and drawings).

After many decades of frosty relations between the U.S. and Cuba, the recent positive developments have brought a feeling of excitement and hope to the Cuban people of both South Florida and Cuba. The exhibition observes the relationship of the artist to their environment- changing landscapes and ability to adapt-retreat, refuge and escape. The show which will run through Sunday, December 5th and is curated by Belaxis Buil whose work has been exhibited in “Intersectionality” and “Taz” at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami, Art Shanghai, China, Tacheles Museum, Germany and Art Basel Miami.

On Saturday, December 3rd, AFP will host a night of fashion, performance art, dance theater and music overlooking Miami Beach. A site~specific fashion show featuring Belaxis Buil designs (contemporary Cuban inspired, ready to wear) will highlight the evening, but Cosa Rica will also feature provocative performance art, video and sound installations from Willie Avedano, Dino Felipe and Orestes De La Paz and a dance theater performance by Hellektrick Danse Theatre. The music for the evening will be curated by NYC based DJ/Producer Gatto. This special night is a celebration of identity- revival and reinvention of the Cuban- Cuban American identity. The event is 8pm-12am, rooftop at 1052 Ocean Drive Miami Beach.

Building CommUnity Party will Celebrate Growth of Supportive Space for Local Nonprofits!

Community residents along with local leaders across greater Miami are invited to come together for a celebratory evening at the Center for Social Change. The party is taking place on the brand new 5th floor, which is part of our Center’s expansion that has more than doubled the original co-working and event space capacity for South Florida nonprofits and social entrepreneurs. While Building CommUnity is technically free to attend, we are also fundraising for the development of a 1,500 sq. ft. outdoor patio with gorgeous, expansive views of surrounding neighborhoods. This 5th floor patio will provide a new venue for various community events, and if funds are raised in time, the goal is to open it Spring 2017. There’s a suggested “CommUnity Builder” donation of $25.00, and we’ll be engraving donor names on the patio’s railing when it’s completed.

About the Center for Social Change – Founded in Summer 2014, we house one of South Florida’s first coworking spaces and community environment for mission-driven leaders and organizations including nonprofits and social entrepreneurs. With affordable workspace options, meeting spaces, and access to events and educational opportunities, we provide a community of support in which to work, connect, innovate, and learn.

The 5th Annual Art of Transformation Series (AOT), which included an exhibition and related programming presented by the Opa-locka Community Development Corporation, was a celebration of Opa-locka’s revitalization through the arts.

Curated by Tumelo Mosaka, the 5th Annual Art of Transformation Series was themed “SAY IT LOUD!” and featured an exhibition of work by prominent contemporary artists Michael Paul Britto, Myra Greene, Joshua R. McFadden, Mario Pfeifer and Roberto Visani, and films by Bhawin Suchak & Ira McKinley and Stanley Nelson. “SAY IT LOUD!” is inspired by the James Brown song of the same name that addresses racial discrimination and calls for black empowerment. The call in this context is a rallying cry for all to mobilize against injustice and discrimination, as well as embrace black culture pride in the United States and African Diaspora. The artists explored a range of experiences that not only address the re-imagination and representation of blackness, but also examined the fear, trauma, and grief transpiring in black communities.

Art Basel: Andy Sweet’s Vintage Photos of Miami Beach 11/30/16

Andy Sweet, a native son of Miami Beach, spent years photographing the life and residents of South Beach. His work was cut short when he was murdered in 1982, but he left behind an amazing, insightful body of luminous color photographs that still shine today.

Before Art Basel recognized Miami Beach as a burgeoning arts community, Andy recognized its importance, beauty, and the fleeting nature of that era. His work is now being rediscovered by a new generation and will be on display as part of Ed Christin Collection (Booth # PH04) at Pinta Miami in Wynwood as part of Art Basel, November 30-December 4.

Andy’s showing at Pinta Miami, includes some of Andy’s original prints, as well as some of the recently-printed restorations. A VIP Private Event will be held on Wednesday, November 30, 6- 8 .m. Invitation is valid for two. RSVP to VIP@pintamiami.com

This is the first time Andy’s work will be featured in Art Basel. This exhibition comes in the wake of his exhibition at the Miami Beach Cinematheque, which ran from September to November 2016. His tragic death and the following trials were covered extensively in the media. The son of a prominent Miami Beach family, the gruesome nature of his death diverted attention from his art just when his work was gaining a following.

By mischance, his negatives were lost, leaving only the prints he’d made as his legacy, their colors slowly fading away. In 2006, on finding a trove of color ‘work prints’ Andy made prior to printing full-size prints, Stan Hughes realized that digital technology could be used to restore the fading colors back to their original jewel-like glory.

Exhibition Dates: Thursday, December 1, noon to 8 p.m.; Friday, December 2, noon to 8 pm.; Saturday, December 3, noon to 8 p.m.; Sunday, December 4, noon to 7 p.m. http://www.pintamiami.com. Ed Christin Collection (Andy Sweet’s photography archivist).
