Coconut Grove is a small village on Biscayne Bay that was the start of the City of Miami in the 1800′s. It is a tight knit group of artists and would-be bohemians (and a lot of attorneys). Elizabeth’s Christmas parties have brought together the young and old of the Grove for 35 of the last 37 years. This video is a tribute to Elizabeth. Go to the “last hurrah” party dinner with us and meet many of the longstanding Grove intelligentia.

Official Beluga Blue Records Christmas Concert

A born musician with a blatant disregard for musical stereotypes, Lara fluently interchanges the Cuban three-toned tres guitar, the cuarto, a Venezuelan four-stringed instrument, the electric guitar and indigenous percussion instruments with an ease that overcomes any self-consciously ethnic sound. The singer, who habitually performs in bare feet, often invites Miami-based Haitian singers or Cuban percussionists to join him and his three piece band on stage. The informal excitement of Lara’s shows are fueled by his absorbing stage presence as well as by his brand of grass-roots eclecticism which he has cultivated for some time in the South Florida area. Lara affirms, “we all know grass roots has always worked in the past, so why not do it?”

Arts and culture event heats up the city from sundown to sunrise, November 5 – 6, 2011

Tens of thousands of cultural enthusiasts will descend upon the vibrant streets and sands of Miami Beach for a unique all-night experience during Sleepless Night, taking place November 5 – 6, 2011.
