\nThe Creole Choir of Cuba performs a concert of vocal music honoring the history of their Haitian ascendants enslaved to the Caribbean from West Africa. The Creole Choir\u2019s ten remarkable singers have nurtured traditional Haitian resistance songs and revived vocal traditions passed down through their Haitian-Cuban families since the early 19th century, gradually incorporating contemporary Haitian influences into their unique hybrid sound. This unforgettable concert will delight audiences both young and old and unite Miami\u2019s Cuban and Haitian communities in a celebration and homage to our shared cultural roots.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

Gema Corredera, one of Miami\u2019s most loved musical treasures, will be performing highlights from her first solo album, Derramando Luz (Spreading Light) with a very special guest Marta Valdes, on Saturday, April 6th, at 8:00 p.m. at Miami Dade County Auditorium, presented by FUNDarte and Artes Miami. <\/span><\/p>\nThis celebrated vocalist and guitarist brings her exceptional voice and musicianship to the local stage with a sound influenced as much by her Cuban roots as by Jazz, Brazilian, Opera, and Flamenco. Her voice sashays fluidly through a multitude of genres, weaving a rich tapestry of Jazz and Cuban fusion that continuously recalls the tropical sensuality of Cuban Rumba, Son, \u201cFilin,\u201d Bolero and Afro-Caribbean rhythms. With a stage presence that is unassuming yet intimately captivating, Gema Corredera is an earthy, sophisticated singer with an amazing vocal range and a versatile performance language that is intimate, smooth, funky, playful, and undeniably seductive.<\/p>\n
