BUIKA CONCERT IN MIAMI IS POSTPONED

The Rhythm Foundation announces that the BUIKA concert Tues September 9 at Gusman Theater is postponed. A new date will be announced shortly.

Buika, the stellar new artist from Spain, is forced to cancel the scheduled September 9th concert because of visa troubles. Two members of the group are Cuban nationals living in Madrid, and their visas were detained by the Department of Homeland Security.

Updated concert information will be announced soon. Ticket holders can either refund their tickets at the point of purchase or exchange them for new tickets when the date is announced.
