Las Rosas is celebrating its first anniversary. Kind of. “What gave us the name,” the Allapattah bar’s owner, Cesar Morales, says, “was there was a Central American bar at the same location called Las Rosas. It was a true dive bar. It was really worn-down. But the sign was there, and something about it worked.”

For decades, Dave Daniels, the original owner of Little Haiti’s Churchill’s Pub, lived in a quaint house behind the bar. Just outside his window, live music wailed, drunken lovers humped on his washing machine, and petty fights raged. Daniels has moved on from his life in Lemon City. But his former abode will temporarily serve as a pop-up shop for work by Ahol Sniffs Glue. The artist is bringing his Cyber Trap Boutique from the internet to the real world. And in proper Miami fashion, he’s also bringing the party with his recognizable merchandise.
Porgie Town, also known as Gigi, lives in a 160-square-foot apartment, where she’s launching a candle-making business. That might sound like an incredibly tiny amount of square footage in which to work or live, but it’s a step up from her last housing situation.
Some of the biggest Latin-music artists will hit South Florida stages this week. Enrique Iglesias, Ozuna, and Bad Bunny will all perform at the American Airlines Arena Saturday, Cuban reggaeton group Gente de Zona will play a hump-day show at the Fillmore Miami Beach, and Colombian ensemble Monsieur Periné will return to the North Beach Bandshell Sunday night.

LGBTQ fans have long played a crucial role in the careers of pop stars, but artists have not always returned the favor. Tour mates Harry Styles and Kacey Musgraves are rewriting the rules about how queer communities and identities should be approached within the mainstream medium of pop music.
Dua Lipa is best known for last summer’s infectious breakout single “New Rules.” The song has thus far spent 43 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, is a bona fide earworm, and is, frankly, solid relationship advice. Ignoring drunk phone calls from exes is always a good idea and one that so many of us fail to remember.
The project is very much a product of living in London — a claustrophobic city, in Edmund Kenny’s estimation, a place where it’s easy to feel faceless among the masses.
Here are ten songs to dance to even if you can’t dance.
At home in the Bronx, the legendary pianist, bandleader, and composer Eddie Palmieri rewinds to childhood.

The free party offers one of the founders of Joy Division and New Order, Peter Hook, who will perform with his band the Light. Respectable Street owner Rodney Mayo explains why this booking is a personal triumph. “I am the biggest Joy Division fan. I’ve been trying to get Peter Hook to play for 30 years,” he says. Now that’s commitment.
