Support the independent voice of Miami and help keep the future of New Times free.
Local band six-piece Araka cribs its name from a piece of Spanish slang that means "Watch out!" With billing like that, the music had better be suitably in-your-face. Luckily, Araka delivers, although not the aggressive attitude the name might imply. Rather, the multiculti act commands attention with a bright, brassy sound that touches on enough different cultures to offer a little piece of something for almost everyone in a Miami audience.
MP3: Araka - "Oscuridad (Yumenomado Remix)"
