Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
Singers and dancers from Texas’s Danmar Academy of Performing Arts will stop in Miami this weekend to perform America Latina: A Mosaic of Cultural Expression, which could easily be subtitled Miami: The Musical. After all, we’re no strangers to the myriad cultures Mosaic represents: Cuba, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Mexico. That’s not a mosaic; it’s the makeup of the families on our block. Still, there’s a reason for this Latin American UN musical feast. Celebrating the bicentennial of several of its featured countries, Mosaic definitely provides a chance to do it for la raza. Take part in the pachanga as Latin American countries converge on one stage this Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Gusman Center’s Olympia Theater.
