Party Like A Neo-Soul Star

In the oversaturated world of Miami party promoting, it seems like the key to success is to shove as many flyers in as many people’s hands as possible, lying all the while about all of the “special invited guests” who are coming. FYI promoters: Sending LL Cool J a MySpace message doesn’t qualify him as a “special invited” anything. But one promoter who has distinguished herself from this bloodthirsty pack is Ingrid B of B Side Entertainment. Her Bohemia Room series has lived up to its tag, “A Spoken Word Experience & Urban Soulcial,” consistently bringing local and national stars to perform and continually bringing audiences to their feet.

While Bohemia Room has now moved from the Design District to Lincoln Road’s Yuca (501 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach), the move will do nothing to dilute the roster of powerful spoken word artists or soul singers that graced the stage week after week at the events’ former home, Power Studios. Tonight’s show will kick off Ingrid’s birthday weekend, and will feature soulstress Jaguar Wright, old school rapper Special Ed, and some of South Florida’s coldest spoken word artists. Admission is $25, and tickets are available at www.partyspree.com. The eclectic engagement begins at 8:00 p.m. Visit www.thebohemiaroom.com.
