Ozuna’s sophomore album, Aura, dropped last week, and Latinos everywhere got their perreo on to the sweet melodies of the Boricua-Dominican artist. The 19-track album has been in the works for the past year and includes a bonus track that Ozuna says is “very special.” “Besos Mojados” features reggaeton royalty RKM and Ken-Y, who brought classics such as “Me Matas” and “Down” to the genre in the early 2000s.

Internet memes can change your life. One day you’re working at Subway, arguing with customers about the actual length of a footlong, and the next you’re a meme sensation. It only takes the right repost and a bit of Photoshop or video-editing skills to send you to superstardom. For Finnish DJ and producer Darude…
It’s absurdly difficult to break through as a musician. For every success story, there are hundreds of tales of defeat and broken dreams. Add a language barrier, and the obstacle only seems to increase.
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.
The best concerts in Miami August 20 through 26.
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. Swift transitioned from Nashville upstart to larger-than-life superstar in five short years…
Shakira returned to the American Airlines Arena after rescheduling her El Dorado World Tour due to a vocal cord injury.
You might know him as your mom’s old crush from the ’80s, but Australian rocker Rick Springfield has seen places far darker since his heartthrob days.
Though the name of Miami’s Haute Tension sounds like it might generate a taut, stressed-out vibe, the band formerly known as Mo’Booty actually makes chill, slow, surfy riffs stamped with deep and dreamy male vocals. There is, however, some tension in the noir sound that recalls long days spent sweating in the tropics, just waiting for something, some mystery requiring a deadpan voiceover, to happen.

Beginning in his teen years, musician Bill Le, AKA the Galactic Effect, always had his best friend, Adrian Barona, to ground him. The two even dropped out of high school to live and record music together. They played shows together, shared instruments, and jammed together. Over the years, they lost touch…
It’s a point of pride for the jam band Umphrey’s McGee that in this, its 21st year of existence, it released not one, but two new records: It’s Not Us and It’s You. “It’s great we can show people that 20 years into the band, we’re not rehashing old music,” keyboardist and singer Joel Cummins says…

Taylor Swift, Charli XCX, Otto Von Schirach, and more of the best concerts in Miami this week, August 13 through 19.
Filing into Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale to see the seminal emo act American Football, you’d be forgiven for not knowing the band’s highly influential debut came out nearly 20 years ago. Here was a crowd of fresh-faced youngsters piled in to watch a group of guys who could be these kids’ dads play music suffused with melancholy and beats that rarely surpass a steady 120 BPM.
This country does not do earnestness well. We would rather turn you into a meme than lend you an understanding ear. We have trouble digesting sincerity unless it’s wrapped in something less vulnerable. Perhaps that’s part of the reason some folks have so much trouble with J. Cole. His…
Li Saumet and Simón Mejía of Bomba Estéreo will bring their signature electro-tropical sound to the Fillmore on Saturday, August 11.

Being the Juliet to a handsome Romeo, having her lover march in on a white horse and beg for her forgiveness, professing her love to a man during his wedding to another woman: Taylor Swift, ever the romantic, loves a good fairy tale. Her most meticulous and longest-running fantasy, though,…
Matar Zohan knows how to bring the funk. Plain and simple, the 28-year-old London-born virtuoso is one of the last proponents of the nearly extinct art of originality.
