Leaving on a Jet Plane

He’s had joy, he’s had fun, and now Argentine-musician-turned-Miami-man-about-town Diego Jinkus is ready to pack up his guitar and take his songs on the road. “Tonight is a farewell and my birthday party. I’m gonna play with my whole band, horn section and all. I leave in October to tour South America. Living in this country, and working with some of Miami’s best musicians, was like the most wonderful school ever,” says Jinkus.

Local musicians’ favorite Transit Lounge will host the festivities, and the joint’ll be jumpin’ with Jinkus’s unique brand of Brazilian- and Latin-influenced pop. Party people should come through around 10:00 to bid him a fond adieu. “With every tour, you return with a new perspective. I hope to someday return to Miami with a new perspective,” he adds.
