• Tap Tap Sunday

  This Sunday evening, recording artist Farah Juste will be at Tap Tap Haitian Restaurant on South Beach for "a CD signing and celebration". Ms. Juste's career as a passionate singer of Haitian folk songs took off with her debut solo album in 1977, and since then she has performed from Paris to Switzerland to Carnegie Hall. The Port-Au-Prince native moved to Miami in 1983, and has been a community activist championing immigration-rights issues; her day care center, "Farah's Angels", provides early

• Ana Gabriel Comes to Miami for Valentine's Day

  Ana Gabriel is a living legend in Mexican music, having repeatedly conquered pop, rock and regional charts in her native country, the U.S. and Latin America over the span of her illustrious 42-year career--a career that has borne 38 albums to date.  The singer-songwriter, born María Guadalupe Araújo Yong to a family of mixed Spanish, Chinese and Japanese origin, forayed into music at age 6, when she took the stage to perform the ranchera "Regalo A Dios" by renowned Mexican composer Jose A

• Gilberto Santa Rosa and Victor Manuelle At James L. Knight Center This Saturday

  Two of the biggest names in the genre are sharing the stage at the James L. Knight Center this Saturday, when Gilberto Santa Rosa and Victor Manuelle make a stop in Miami on their La Historia Continua tour. The two first made history when they united for the Dos Soneros, Una Historia tour back in 2001, which later resulted in a CD/DVD release of the same title.They decided to recreate the magic this year. They kicked off a 12-city tour starting in Vancouver, of all places (I guess they like sals

• Franco De Vita comes to Miami

  Franco De Vita is the Latin Billy Joel.  That's not an exaggeration.  Anyone who knows Latin music can back it up.  And unfortunately I can't take credit for the comparison, I'm actually quoting, unofficially and without her knowledge or consent, an old boss and mentor from my very first days in the music industry (and my last, actually).  Still, it's an accurate comparison and one I agree with whole-heartedly.  The singer-songwriter, who was born in Venezuela but lived

• Rosario Flores and Antonio Carmona: Parte de Nosotros Tour Comes to Miami

  ¡Joder tio!  ¡La ostia!  Do you ever find yourself longing to get in touch with your true roots and reconnect with the motherland?  I'm not talking about Cuba (or Puerto Rico, Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, or any other Latin countries represented in our fair city). I'm talking about "the old country". I'm talking about La Madre Patria. I'm talking about España!  Well, you can head to Tapas y Tintos any old time, but you'll have a much more unique (albeit far less tasty)

• Paloma San Basilio: From Madrid to Miami

  With 30 years under her belt as a singer and an actress, Paloma San Basilio is something of a Spanish icon. She's starred in such theatrical revivals in Madrid as The Man of La Mancha, My Fair Lady, Victor/Victoria and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Evita and she's released close to 30 records since her debut in 1975. Along the way, she's picked up a Latin Grammy and recorded with the legendary Placido Domingo and Emilio Jose. Even if you still didn't know her from all that, you might have seen&

• Luis Fonsi Comes to James L. Knight Center on August 22

  ​In case you hadn't noticed, throughout the course of the last year Luis Fonsi has vaulted to the much sought after and seldom attained elite status in the Latin Pop world, to stand among the heavyweights in the genre. It almost seems as though he's achieved this rather quietly, lacking the general circus atmosphere surrounding artists of this caliber. But the charts indicate otherwise. He's just recently released his third single off Palabras del Silencio (Words From Silence), titled "Llueve

• Toto La Momposina Comes to Miami on August 21

  ​Say, have you ever heard of Toto La Momposina? No? Well neither had I, until my editor put me onto her. So I set out to see just who that was, and thanks to the modern marvel that is Google, within minutes my office was filled with tribal, Afro-Caribbean and indigenous sounds from this excellent Colombian performer's website. Congos and distinctly island-style percussion thrummed and Toto's powerful voice resonated from my tiny desktop speakers. Backing vocals in the form of chanting echoed s

Well, clearly she's just as hot now as she was last time we brought her to your attention...only somehow even hotter musically.Fanny Lu has spent much of the last year tearing up the charts not only in the US and her native Colombia, but also in Mexico. Her first single, "Tu No Eres Para Mi" continues to dominate the top spots on radio. And her current single, "Celos," a Daniela Romo cover, has been

• Jose Luis Perales Live at the James L. Knight Center Saturday

  ​Jose Luis Perales is what you might call a living legend. The title seems fitting. Perhaps you don't think you're familiar with his work, but if you have parents from Spain or Latin America then rest assured you most certainly do. And if perhaps you yourself are a died-in-the-wool grownup from said heritage, feel free to skip to the bottom for ticket info--you know exactly who we're talking about.He's been in the game a long time, having debuted with Mis Canciones in 1973. But he was working
