Since 2021, Blue Scholars and ARTSail have coordinated the World Ocean Celebration in Miami Beach, designed to raise awareness around our one world ocean and promote community engagement and volunteer impact. We feel that we have outgrown the one- or two-day format we've followed so far. Next year, we aim to expand the celebration to a full week. This will allow us to collaborate with many new partners, extend our reach to other parts of Miami and the beaches, and engage with a larger and more diverse audience. One of the additional programs we'd like to add is a collaboration with Miami Beach Bandshell to host a live concert with an ocean-minded musician.

Based in Bogota, Meridian Brothers is a psychedelic salsa-infused neo-tropicalista group that delivers an avant-garde musical experience.&nbsp; Founder Eblis Álvarez launched the group in 1998 as a musical laboratory, from his roots with the ephemeral Ensamble Polifónico Vallenato project. The group had been experimenting with traditional Colombian music (vallenato, cumbia, palenquero, gaita) for modern ears.&nbsp; The New York Times, reviewing their 2022 release, called their unique sound "a psychedelic fever dream, a deep dive into salsa’s past, a critique of society’s surrender to technology, and a new musical encounter between Colombia’s sophisticated capital of Bogotá and its rustic Caribbean coast." The opening set features DJ Krishna Villar. The event is free, presented by Rhythm Foundation and Tigre Sounds as part of the Tigre Global Sounds Series, which has begun introducing innovative artists from Latin America and beyond to Miami audiences.

Celebrate Make Music Miami, welcoming summer with music, with a FREE show by Hermanos Gutierrez. *RSVP does not guarantee entry. Early arrival is strongly suggested. “When Alejandro and I play together, it’s like we are driving a car,” says Estevan Gutiérrez, one half of the guitar duo Hermanos Gutiérrez. “It’s like we are taking a road trip. Sometimes we’re driving through a desert. Sometimes we’re traveling up the coast. But always we are in nature, and we see the most beautiful landscapes, sunrises, sunsets.” The music these two brothers make evokes expansive plains and rough wildernesses, saguaros and surfs, spaghetti westerns and Morricone soundtracks, Lynch and Jarmusch. With their guitars they travel through landscapes haunted by vaqueros, cancioneros, wanderers, fugitives, lovers, family—and whatever ghosts their listeners bring to the music. “Each album is a journey on its own,” says Alejandro Gutiérrez. “We just have to go with the music, trust in ourselves, and see where it takes us.” Presented by Rhythm Foundation and Tigre Global Sounds Series -- as part of Miami Beach Arts in the Parks

Afrobeta is perhaps the most Miami band in the short but lively history of our city. Their sound transcends genre classifications. Tony “Smurphio” Laurencio’s signature timbraI tendencies are instantly identifiable; aqueous synth leads effortlessly navigate throughout rhythmic mazes of snapping &amp; shuffling percussion, blanketed in painterly strokes of bass (this is Miami-made music, after all). Cuci Amador’s emotive vocal &amp; lyrical lines provide a challenging counterpoint, creating a tension too complex for standard-issue pop - a welcome sensory distortion, easily memorable even after only one taste. To speak nothing of the costumes and imaginative stage sets... Their edgy pop bangers brought them to initially to the stage of Ultra Music Festival, and garnered a host of “Best Of” awards. Since their launch in 2006, they have played stages including Glastonbury, Space Ibiza, Burning Man and beyond, and rocked alongside like-minded artists, Ghostland Observatory, Bassnectar, Orbital, The Crystal Method, Hercules &amp; Love Affair, Diplo, Holy Ghost!, SOPHIE, and dozens more. True muses, Smurphio and Cuci individually have their fingers in the pot of pretty much every creative innovative scene in the #305. Smurphio in bands from Pitbull to Suenalo and Spam All Stars, among others. Cuci with Miami Girls Rock Camp, Miamibloco, Miami Sound Chorus, modern dance ensembles, theater projects. Together, they launched the legendary Mooncakes Festival, and produced the documentary ‘Birthright’. To name but a few of their projects. Thank you Afrobeta for making our city more fun! The North Beach Social stage is yours and we can’t wait to hear what you bring to it. “With their dance-a-licious beats, Afrobeta’s songs are classic yet modern, underground yet Billboard chart-friendly... Miami is lucky to have them on a regular basis; they’re a match in disco-house heaven.” -The Miami New Times

When Devendra Banhart first emerged two decades ago, his eccentric persona, falsetto-heavy singing, and sprawling aesthetic made him the poster child of the then-burgeoning freak folk movement. He wasn’t merely prolific and extroverted in championing this style-colliding cultural moment, he also worked as an advocate for fellow travelers and overlooked heroes such as the great British folk singer Vashti Bunyan, whose career he helped resurrect. Over time the eccentricities of the Venezuelan-raised explorer have been moderated, and now the tender beauty and airiness of his music is no longer obscured by his old hippie persona. Still, the basic building blocks of his expansive sound endure, blending American folk with acoustic traditions of South America, particularly the breezy pop, spare arrangements and chill bossa nova of Brazil.Opening set by Maye!

Bring a chair or a blanket to enjoy this free show in the beautiful ArtsPark in downtown Hollywood!

The band has built a career around an eclectic live show that harnesses the power of horns and drums in a deep pocket funk party-like atmosphere. The Soul Rebels continue to chart new territory as they feature in major films, tour globally, and combine topnotch musicianship with songs that celebrate dancing, life, funk and soul.

“One of the biggest stealth success stories of recent years has been Big Thief, a US four-piece who have blossomed from scratchy beginnings to become one of the most prolific and adored leftfield guitar bands of recent times.” writes the London Guardian, rapturously reviewing a four-night sold-out run in London earlier this year. The folk rock indie group has been touring in support of the sprawling double-LP Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You, exploring the members’ deepest elements and possibilities. The attempt to capture something deeper, wider, and full of mystery, points to the inherent spirit of Big Thief.This concert is their Florida debut. Presented by Rhythm Foundation.

Last year, the buzz surrounding Brazilian musician Munir Hossn broke through the pandemic malaise. It felt like all the jazz and music-heads were talking about an iconoclastic musical genius living right in our midst in North Beach. And suddenly, he was popping up everywhere - featured in sets by innovative jazz and international artists, at festivals, bringing his unique style to our stage. Now we feature a full evening with Mr. Hossn, who promises a journey through his sensory and intellectual musical landscape, as he takes over the November edition of the monthly North Beach Social - starting with some unreleased songs played solo, leading into some AfroBrazilian Jazz by his trio, and closing with his ’supergroup’ Elas.&nbsp;Mr. Hossn was born in a humble home in Salvador, Bahia, from a family whose heritage included African, European, Middle Eastern and indigenous ancestry. He began working as a musician at just age 10, leaving behind formal schooling to instead soak up knowledge from experienced players. By the time he was 15, he was accompanying acclaimed Brazilian names like Hermeto Pascoal, Roberto Mendes, Daniela Mercury, Gilberto Gil, and Lenine. He next moved into the international arena, and has collaborated with artists including Joe Zawinul Syndicate, Didier Lockwood, Jorge Drexler, Concha Buika, Quincy Jones, Alfredo Rodriguez, Richard Bona, and many more.His group ELAS is dedicated to women, and features four stellar female artists: Clarissa Vieira (Cello), Yissy Garcia (Drums), Magela Herrera (Flute/Keyboards), and Totti Lamadrid (Piano)

"The 8-Bit Big Band is a Grammy-winning, genre-bending jazz orchestra formed around the love of video games, their associated soundtracks, and the musical desire to explore and expand an ever-growing contemporary body of music which the group has lovingly dubbed ""The Great Video Game Songbook."" They are a symphonic jazz orchestra of 30 of New York City's finest musicians—re-arranging beloved music from the video game soundtracks of the last 30 years into genre-fusing contemporary large ensemble music. The group formed in 2017 with the release of their debut album, Press Start, followed by their sophomore album, Choose Your Character, in 2018, and their most recent release, Backwards Compatible, in 2021. Since the inception of the band, they have garnered an online fanbase aggregating over 20 million views on YouTube and over 200,000 subscribers, followers, and listeners across the globe, in addition to selling out concert venues in New York City." Their mission is to showcase the contemporary and ever-growing body of musical work that is video game music. In the past, people grew to love the songs of The Great American Songbook because of their experiences seeing the Broadway shows and films those timeless songs and melodies came from. In a similar way, video game music has ushered in a new era of appreciation from music lovers who grew up playing video games and learning to love the melodies from their favorite game franchises. Within this contemporary musical canon exists a wide array of communally recognizable themes, lyrics, and melodies that can be reimagined and expanded upon in new and inventive ways, in the same fashion that the great arrangers and jazz musicians of the past century would treat other highly-regarded bodies of musical works such as film scores, Broadway cast albums, and more. The 8-Bit Big Band draws their music from some of the most beloved video game franchises of all time, such as Mario, Zelda, Sonic the Hedgehog, Kirby, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Tetris, Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Portal, and many more, dedicating themselves to bringing large ensemble arranging into the presence of the internet and gaming era, while giving the music from these games the same reverential treatment in arranging, performance, and production that has gone hand in hand with the large symphonic studio jazz orchestras of the past century and beyond.

Celebrating gede, a Haitian all-souls’-day holiday ritual with music, dancing and laughter.Voudou rock legends RAM are a mizik rasin (roots music) powerhouse Haitian band, who embody the joy and power of gede. Folkloric polyrhythms intertwine harmoniously with punk guitar riffs and Caribbean dance melodies, drums, and rara horns. Theirs is the sound of triumph over travail, a progressive vision of tradition, infusing Haitian rhythms kompa, rara, twoubadou, and vodou with rock.Bandleader Richard Morse, a third generation musician (his mother was revered Haitian folk singer Emerante de Pradines), began his career as a student, playing in a New Wave band in 1970s New York City’s CBGB scene. He returned to Haiti as a young man and took over the Oloffson Hotel. RAM was born from his musical explorations with the hotel’s in-house musicians.

The group also has become a featured part of Krewe du Kanaval, a New Orleans-based project by Arcade Fire’s Win Butler and Regine Chassagne with the iconic Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

In the years between 2018's BAMBI and LP3, Minneapolis' Hippo Campus -- made up of vocalist/guitarists Jake Luppen and Nathan Stocker, drummer Whistler Allen, bassist Zach Sutton, and trumpeter DeCarlo Jackson -- has grown up and into itself. Although the five-piece has been friends since middle school and put out a number of studio releases since its inception, it's the new record, LP3, that's the most honest portrait of who Hippo Campus is. What Hippo Campus wanted with LP3 was something all five of them could agree on, the way they'd made music in the early days of the band. As their profile grew, they found themselves compromising on their visions, thinking about how fans would interact with their music, and plagued by an unsustainable industry ecosystem. Now, they just wanted unity. LP3 is, then, their strongest and most complete work yet -- a freshly-inked portrait excavating young adulthood and identity and, more importantly, how that personal identity fits into a larger camaraderie. It looks at how growing up can just feel like something that's always moving past you when you're trying to grab a hold of it; it's a push-and-pull of letting go or holding tighter -- and figuring out what matters the most. Through cinematic, sonic clarity, LP3 is a sweeping account of courage and tenacity; tender-hearted stumbling that leads you on the right path after all. CHAI:Since breaking out in 2018, CHAI have been associated with explosive joy. At their live shows, the Japanese four-piece of identical twins MANA (lead vocals and keys) and KANA (guitar), drummer YUNA, and bassist-lyricist YUUKI have become known for buoyant displays of eclectic and clever songwriting, impressive musicianship, matching outfits, delightful choreography, and sheer relief. At the core of their music, CHAI have upheld a stated mission to deconstruct the standards of beauty and cuteness that can be so oppressive in Japan. Following the release of 2019's second album&nbsp;PUNK, CHAI's adventures took them around the world, to music festivals like Primavera Sound and Pitchfork Music Festival, and touring with indie-rock mainstays like Whitney and Mac DeMarco.

The band is touring in support of their new album, 'Perspective', released in April '22.&nbsp;Hailed as “musical explorers” by Rolling Stone, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong first took flight roughly a decade ago at the University of Maryland, and the pysch-funk trailblazers have since gone on to play more than a thousand shows across 44 states. In just the past two years alone, the band has co-billed at Red Rocks, played halftime at Madison Square Garden, performed on Adult Swim’s FishCenter Live, celebrated the tenth anniversary of their beloved music festival, Domefest, and even earned their first headlining arena show. The Baltimore quartet’s latest album, ‘Presto,’ is their most sophisticated and joyful collection to date, drawing on everything from funk to rock to electronic music as it builds off the group’s unparalleled live energy and hits new heights of emotional and technical maturity. At a time when America seems to grow more divided by the day, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong still believes in the power of music to bring people together, and ‘Presto’ is a big, bold album all about celebrating the present and sharing it with the ones we love most.

Los Auténticos Decadentes (Spanish for "The Authentic Decadents") is an Argentine band that mixes ska with Latin American rhythms. The band was formed around the year 1986 by Cucho and Nito, who invited Gastón to join them. Their first hit was Veni Raquel, which set the tone for the irreverence and ironic humor of their later lyrics. Many of their songs are classic anthems of the Argentine nightlife, such as Corazón, Loco (Tu Forma de Ser), Entregá el Marrón, La Guitarra, Los Piratas and El Murguero. For some of their hit songs and videos, the Decandentes have engaged many Argentine icons such as former soccer referee Guillermo Nimo and the later candombe singer Alberto Castillo. As they draw from traditions such as canzonetta, murga bands and cantina songs, they are popular with many generations.

With her tender and lucid look at the French society of 2022, Anne Roumanoff manages to make us laugh about this complicated period. The result of the presidential elections, divorced women, political correctness, telecommuting, dating, influencers obsessed with their likes, the cookies of the computers that spy on us but also a clairvoyant who encourages you to be more attentive in your couple... Everything is not going well but when you leave the show of Anne Roumanoff, we really feel better. This show is in French.

Formed a decade ago in Bogotá, Monsieur Perine has cultivated a fervent following by blending the spirit of 1930s Django Reinhardt French gypsy jazz music with the joyous and sophisticated sounds of contemporary Latin American pop — a worldly, boundary-blurring approach places them in the same echelon as contemporaries Natalia Lafourcade, Carla Morrison, and Bomba Estéreo. They have released three albums including their self-released 2012 debut “Hecho a Mano”, the Latin GRAMMY-winning 2015 follow-up “Caja De Musica” which includes their viral TikTok hit “Nuestra Canción”, and their 2018 Sony Music release, the GRAMMY-nominated “Encanto Tropical”.This concert is co-presented by Escala Sonora and Rhythm Foundation.

Born in London, Julian Marley is the son of reggae legend Bob Marley and Barbados-born Lucy Pounder. Growing up as a youth in a musical atmosphere, the Grammy Award Nominated roots-reggae musician, singer-songwriter, producer and humanitarian quickly adopted a musical lifestyle at an early age and became a skillful, self-taught musician mastering the bass, drums, guitar and keyboards. During Julian’s formative years in Jamaica, he began to study under legendary reggae veterans such as Aston “Family Man” Barrett, Carlton Barrett, Earl “Wire” Lindo, Tyrone Downie and Earl “Chinna” Smith, all of whom inspired the then fledgling song-bird.&nbsp; In the same tradition as his father, Julian is a&nbsp;devout Rastafarian whose music is inspired by&nbsp;life and spirituality. And while Julian has built a formidable reputation by transcending musical genres, we can be sure that all future&nbsp;endeavors that the music visionary embarks&nbsp;on will remain spiritual, moral and with a global mission. Julian notes, “I don’t plan&nbsp;the next step, I just continue on with Jah&nbsp;Works and somehow things seem to&nbsp;just come together naturally that way.”&nbsp; Opening sounds by DUBWISEPresented The Hollywood Arts Park Experience and The Hollywood Community Redevelopment LeagueProduced by Rhythm Foundation in association with Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator.

Her ‘electro dub tango’ compositions fit perfectly into chic parties, fashion shows, on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ and intimate performances.The globetrotting musician brings a stellar quintet of musicians for a concert at the North Beach Bandshell for the March 18 edition of North Beach Social, including exquisite charango, quena, guitar, piano, bombo and the iconic bandoneon.

Born on the Jazz &amp; Heritage Festival stage, and descended from Neville and Meters family bloodlines, these soldiers of funk ignite a deep, gritty groove that dares listeners not to move. Their performances combine ingenious musicianship through complex funk, rock, and jazz arrangements accompanied by soulful melodies and Big Easy traditions.&nbsp;Dueling baselines from Tony Hall and Nick Daniels III set off one of the dirtiest rhythm sections on the planet, while Ivan Neville lights up the Hammond B3 keys and cousin Ian Neville's funky guitar riffs send the groove into overdrive. Dumpstaphunk tosses around lead vocals and four-part harmonies the way Sly &amp; the Family Stone did, but with three studio albums under their belt, Dumpstaphunk stands on the merit of their own material.

The North Beach Bandshell served as the winter home for the Mike Douglas Show during the mid 60’s/early 70’s. Ed Sullivan, live from the Deauville Hotel in 1964, introduced The Beatles. Jackie Gleason filmed his TV show at what is now the Fillmore Miami Beach; and Arthur Godfrey hosted his radio show here. Long after vaudeville’s heyday, Peppy and Irving Fields kept alive the beloved “Night of a Thousand Stars” format for Miami Beach seniors.&nbsp;“Now we look to the future as we update this storied history. During the pandemic we have built out ‘Bandshell Studios’ and our excellent in house production team. The TV variety show, filmed before a live audience or in a closed-set, is a great way to showcase the best of Miami culture”.
