Cuba Nu-Wave regresa con más artistas y géneros cubanos
SUENACUBANO | 3/DIC/2015
El evento, que tendrá lugar en Miami del 17 al 19 de diciembre, potencia el consumo de música alternativa cubana.
Como un festival de mayor alcance y nuevas propuestas musicales alternativas se desarrollará Cuba Nu-Wave, del 17 al 19 de diciembre, en diferentes locaciones de Miami.
Entre los artistas que participarán en la nueva edición del evento figuran: Raúl Paz, quien repite la experiencia, Diana Fuentes, Vanito Brown, el grupo Moneda Dura. A estos nombres muy conocidos dentro y fuera de Cuba, se suman otros que sobresalen sobre todo fuera de fronteras por su calidad musical como el joven jazzista Axel Laugart, quien sorprende con su energía y excelencia creativa cada vez que visita La Habana con su madre, la reconocida intérprete Xiomara Laugart.
En conversación con Suenacubano, los organizadores del festival destacaron que “a diferencia de la mayoría de los eventos de música cubana, este no se concentra en la popular, sino en la alternativa. Los artistas participantes mantienen sus raíces tanto como experimentan con diferentes ritmos de alrededor del mundo. Cada uno tiene un estilo propio que lo hace único y parte representativa de la nueva ola de música cubana”.
Sobre el programa de presentaciones precisaron: “el día de la inauguración ofreceremos un cocktail con representantes del joven Cuban Jazz entre los que se encuentran (U)nity, un proyecto de Axel Laugart, Jose Gola y Michelle Fragoso, esto será en Havana 1957, de Brickell. El viernes tendremos un concierto en nuestra sede de Vedado Social Club en Upper East Side Miami, con Diana Fuentes, Moneda Dura y Beangel.
“El sábado celebraremos un concierto de clausura con Raúl Paz, Leslie Cartaya y Vanito Brown en el Teatro Flamingo, de Brickell. Para la información completa sobre otros artistas invitados, eventos colaterales, horarios y demás detalles, el público debería visitar nuestro sitio www.cubanuwave.com y nuestras páginas sociales.
Puesto que el evento incluye propuestas musicales más diversas le asegura incrementar la atracción de más melómanos y bailadores. “El hecho de que se desarrolle durante tres días nos da esa ventaja, tenemos más artistas participando en diferentes locaciones, y con ello, una mayor cantidad de público interesado”.
Apuntaron asimismo los organizadores que “Cuba Nu-Wave es un producto de Vedado Social Club. Creemos que este proyecto ha estado marcando tendencia en el consumo de música cubana desde su creación, puesto que ha abierto el diapasón para otros estilos musicales, además de lo tradicional. El público norteamericano está conociendo otros géneros y tendencias como el pop-rock cubano, el rap y otras fusiones, que no debieran pasar desapercibidos”.

Art Basel Miami Beach is as much about music as it is about art. And for its first-ever ABMB, El Tucán is celebrating with three nights of música featuring Grammy-nominated cantante Cucu Diamantes, who will be making her way to Miami from Cuba.
9. Rumors Art Basel. With Guy Gerber. Friday, December 4, 6 to 11 p.m. 1 Hotel, 2341 Collins Ave, Miami Beach; 305-604-1000; 1hotels.com. RSVP via residentadvisor.com.
Israeli party boy Guy Gerber will be crashing the 1 Hotel South Beach this week for Basel. "I like making music that has more essence and isn’t a tool, per se," the DJ recently told New Times. "A club track is a tool with a proper intro, middle, and ending. It has to have the proper beginning and ending so other DJs can work with it. I want something that will stand the test of time." Let's hope this week's set goes down in history.
8. Miami Hearts Design. Hosted by Karelle Levy with a KRELwear living installation and music by Afrobeta, Millionyoung, and Bedside. Friday, December 4, 7 to 11 p.m. Presented by Superfine! House of Art and Design, the Citadel, 8300 NE Second Ave., Miami; 305-555-5555; madeatthecitadel.com. Tickets $15 plus fees via superfine.design/tickets.
Located in "the intersection of high-impact contemporary art and dynamic and inspired design," Superfine! "transcends the usual art and design event by creating a fully immersive environment designed to maximize interaction with diverse publics." And during the Miami Hearts Design showcase, the collective is inviting the creatives of the city to check out a 3,000-square-foot installation by artist Diego Montoya while vibing out to fresh tunes by Afrobeta, Millionyoung, and Bedside.

"First Ya Gotta Shake the Gate," then you gotta do the Running Man and finish off with the MC Hammer dance. That, friends, is the key to crashing the Crew Love Art Basel rager. With funky tunes by Soul Clap, PillowTalk, Nick Monaco, Navid Izadi, Jeremy Ismael, and Miami Players Club, you'll be dancin' from dusk to dawn.
6. Hard 2 Leave Presents A-Trak. Sunday, December 6, 11 p.m. E11even Miami, 29 NE 11th St, Miami; 305-305-6611; 11miami.com. Tickets cost $20 to $40 via 11miami.com. Ages 21 and up.
Hard 2 Leave always makes it, well, Hard 2 Leave. And as the last Art Basel party of 2015, the Team No Sleep crew at E11even Miami is bringing Fool's Gold DJ A-Trak to the Magic City for one last night of shenanigans. Long live Basel!

Fool's Gold Day Off may have landed in Miami three months earlier than anticipated, but that's not stopping Fool's Gold party alumnus DJ Mustard from twerkin' it up in the 305 during Basel. As much as the hip-hop junkie loves a good rager, though, he'd rather do it with a friend. That's why he's bringing Fabolous along for the fun.
4. Life and Death Art Basel. With Tale of Us, Mind Against, Thugfucker, and special guest Richie Hawtin. Presented by PL0T and III Points. Thursday, December 3, 9 p.m. Mana Wynwood, 318 NW 23rd St., Miami; 305-573-0371; manawynwood.com. Tickets $55 to $66 plus fees via residentadvisor.net.
It really isn't Miami Art Week without a proper Life and Death showcase. Kick off the festivities with one of your fave underground dance labels at Mana Wynwood. Joined by special guest Richie Hawtin, you know this is gonna be one hell of a rager.
3. Giorgio Moroder. With Horse Meat Disco and DJ Spincer Tracy. Hosted by Yabu Pushelberg. Thursday, December 3, 11 p.m. Basement Miami, 2901 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 786-257-4548; basementmiami.com. RSVP is required via reservations@basementmiami.com. Ages 21 and up.
Giorgio Moroder needs no introduction. At 75 years old, the man is one of the 20th Century's most influential record producers, who's worked with everyone from Donna Summer to Debbie Harry to David Bowie. While he's been turning knobs and producing music in the studio for decades, the music vet, as discussed in our interview with the legend last year, is "now getting behind the decks to DJ, which started in 2013 with an appearance at a Red Bull Music Academy event at Output in New York." And this week, the music icon will be back in the Magic City for Art Basel's always memorable Horse Meat Disco party, happening this year at Basement.

Mana Wynwood, 318 NW 23rd St., Miami; 305-573-0371; manawynwood.com.
If III Points is involved, good music is a given. Just take a look at this year's music festival and 2014's III Points Art Basel Concert Series. The inaugural showcase brought FKA twigs, Clams Casino, James Blake, Airhead, SBTRKT, and A$AP Ferg to YoungArts. And for 2015, the crew over at III Points will be bringing Jamie xx, Four Tet, A$AP Rocky, Kaytranada, and STWO to Mana Wynwood.

Swizz Beatz and Bacardi have teamed up for what might just be the best musical lineup of Art Basel. During the day, Casa Bacardi — as the event is called — will serve as an art fair during the day, but when the sun goes down, it's turning into one of hell of a concert series.
