Miami after dark, top down

We dropped the top and drove Miami after dark.

Ocean Drive neon, the MacArthur Causeway with the Port lights sliding by, then Biscayne Boulevard all lit up: under the overpass, past the arena, and up at the Freedom Tower, where Cuban exiles were welcomed in the 1960s. Brickell from straight up, and the whole skyline from the Rickenbacker.

Send this to who's riding shotgun on your next Miami trip.

Latin Fest 901 from above

The dance floor at Latin Fest 901 never emptied, and the main stage is why. We put the drone up over Overton Square Saturday afternoon and stayed on that stage.

Read the full post

@rumbaroom901 took the main stage for a performance, then taught the whole square a basic cumbia class, and the floor followed every step. @operamemphis brought a Latin vocal set with Anthony Valle and Ana Cristina Soto, and the lineup kept going all afternoon: the Parade of Nations, DLR Dance Group, Flamenco Memphis, the Cazateatro dancers, Salsa Memphis and Area 58 to close.

Thank you @cazateatro_memphis, Memphis's Hispanic theatre company, for hosting it free for everybody, and to the sponsors up on that big screen, including the Hyde Family Foundation and the Tennessee Arts Commission. @balletmemphis was out celebrating 40 years.

We also met Cuban artist Juan R. Murat Salas, painting right here in Memphis. Four of his pieces are in the video. Contact him for access to his gallery.

Clase de cumbia con Rumba Room, la pista llena y arte cubano en Overton Square. Qué tarde.
