IFÉ-ILÉ’s annual fest makes Miami natives proud

The sins of Fidel Castro have been cast throughout the Caribbean, ricocheting, of course, most notably off the humble burg called Miami. Yes, of course there are benefits: While haters such as the very sick Michelle Malkin urge America to oust anyone who didn’t arrive on the Mayflower (bye-bye, Michelle), and lesser-known morons insist on building a Great Wall of Texas, we humble burgers have embraced Castro’s escapees and outcasts and made our city world-class and widely coveted. So you could wait until autumn and travel to Boulder, Colorado, to experience an IFÉ-ILÉ Afro-Cuban Dance and Music Festival. Or you could be a little smarter than, say, Michelle Malkin, and simply buzz over to Coconut Grove to experience full-force this hard-core immersion in the sounds and movements of the Afro-Cuban Diaspora at the Arts and Minds Center.

The three-day fest will feature tons of hot dancing, humid drumming, performances by artists from all over the world, and a number of workshops. One highlight: the debut of a dance called Wemilere: Feast for the Orishas. For a complete schedule, call 305-476-0388 or visit www.ife-ile.org. And by the by, IFÉ-ILÉ is based in ... guess which world-class city? (Hint: It’s not Havana.)
