Gema Corredera, News from Tigertail, & Miami On Stage 2013. All events @ MDCA


 
Gema Corredera returns to the stage as a solo artist with a brand new sound, a brand new band and a startling new CD: Derramando Luz. Together with Cuban modern-jazz maestro and Grammy® winner Yosvany Terry as her musical director, Gema has crafted a multi-genre masterpiece that combines a jazz-infused palette of filin, rumba, and vestiges of Cuban timba with elements of R&B and classical music. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see her live and with her very special guest, performing for the first time in US, the legendary Marta Valdes.

MIAMI ON STAGE 2013 Blazes with Local Music and Multimedia
at Miami Dade County Auditorium On.Stage Black.Box
Showcasing Leslie Cartaya, Alfredo Chacón, Mr. Haka and
Dinorah de Jesús Rodriguez
 
Local Latino Artists take center stage during FUNDarte’s high-powered Miami On Stage 2013 series! This year FUNDarte combines the work of three powerhouse musicians, Leslie Cartaya, Alfredo Chacón and Mr. Haka, each working in a unique genre.  Along with the musical offerings, experience the wildly psychedelic video work of experimental filmmaker and multimedia artist Dinorah de Jesús Rodriguez and her local, interactive “mujer_cita_MIA” project, presented in the theater lobby and façade as a visual arts component with each concert.
 
Leslie Cartaya in Concert!
 
On Thursday, April 18: Catch one of Miami’s hottest and most innovative female vocalists: Leslie Cartaya, best known as the unstoppable front woman for Palo! Miami’s signature Afro-Cuban Funk band, rising to local stardom thanks in large part to Leslie’s dynamic and contagious electricity on stage.  Wooing her audience via her trailblazing ability to fuse genres and provide constant surprises via the musically unexpected, Leslie will be performing from her new independent release entitled “No Pares.”
 
Alfredo Chacón in Concert!
On Friday, April 19:  Experience the unique, extraordinary sound of Latin Jazz master Alfredo Chacón on Vibraphone and Percussion.  Chacón’s mysterious, sensual music is imbued with influences from Latin America, Brazil, Europe and particularly Scandinavia, while rooted in the African-based rhythms of his native Cuba, creating an unforgettable, heart-stopping concert that will leave you breathless and renewed.  Trained classically in Cuba and aged like fine wine in Europe, Chacón will perform work from his latest independent project, “Magic Place,” transporting us to a hauntingly beautiful place of timeless romance and utterly unforgettable magic.
 
Mr. Haka in Concert!
 
On Saturday, April 20: Get ready for Mr. Haka, explosive underground rapero extraordinaire and local force-to-be-reckoned-with on the Latin HipHop scene, performing from his latest release “Autorretrato.”  This artist’s versatility and lyrical wizardry seamlessly merge raw HipHop and Urban Fusion while occasionally letting his Latin roots hijack the musical sensibility of the project, culminating in a riveting rhythmic explosion of socially-motivating music that energizes audiences across all genres of contemporary urban fusion. 
 
mujer_cita_MIA” by Dinorah de Jesús Rodriguez
