Valencia Gunder isn’t merely “from Miami.” The roots of her Miami heritage run deeper. “My family is one of the pioneer Bahamian families in Miami.

Esther Park-Clemetson never thought she’d stay in Miami. When she came to town in 2003, she was on assignment for a New York City magazine that had hired her to write about Miami’s then-nascent hip-hop scene. “I met Pitbull — Armando, before he was Mr. Worldwide,” she recalls. “I met…

If you’re not from Miami, you probably know Terence Nance as the showrunner of the experimental HBO series Random Acts of Flyness. Perhaps you saw the lengthy profile of him in the New York Times this summer, or if you’re into indie film, you know his works An Oversimplification of Her Beauty and Swimming in Your Skin Again, which earned raves at festivals such as Sundance.
What’s left of bohemian Wynwood is on the way out. The transformation of the arts neighborhood that was once defined by beer-fueled gallery walks and low-rent galleries began years ago as expensive restaurants and high-rent apartments took over.

About halfway through the Miami edition of the On The Run II Tour, Jay-Z fucked up. He was alone on the stage, having just finished a medley of “Family Feud” and “Upgrade U” with his superstar wife and tourmate Beyoncé, followed by a solo, crowd-revving version of “Niggas in Paris.” Next on…
No matter what you think of DJ Khaled, you can’t argue this: You can always tell when he’s involved in a project. It’s true of his music, which usually includes Khaled’s signature “We the Best Music!” shout. It’s true of his social media posts, featuring the inimitable mix of bravado…
Kids these days: They’re broke, they’re killing everything, they’re eating Tide pods for kicks. Or so the grumpy grandpas of the world would have you think. But fans of Chloe x Halle know better.
Every November, Day of the Dead festivities draw droves of South Floridians to Fort Lauderdale’s Huizenga Plaza to reconnect with the spirits of their lost loved ones. But this year, when the parade has finished and the humidity has melted participants’ sugar-skull makeup, there’ll be even more partying to come.
Last night, a Taylor Swift fan emerged wide-eyed from a meet-and-greet with the artist. Her mouth gaping at a group of fellow concertgoers, the fan uttered just two words: “She’s real!” You could be forgiven for thinking otherwise.

Most Americans recognize her uniquely powerful voice from the opening strains of “Respect,” “Chain of Fools,” or any of her other hits, more than 100 of which reached the Billboard charts throughout her career.
Florida’s an obvious target for political jokes. So Daily Show host Trevor Noah will have plenty of material to draw from when he brings the Comedy Central show to Miami Beach in late October. A special “undesked” week of programming will be taped before a live audience at the Fillmore Miami…
