SUMMARY:Flamenco Entre Dos Orillas
DESCRIPTION:The Koubek Center will be working with internationally renowned Flamenco Festival to bring an intimate and experimental Flamenco music series featuring the new generation of artists who are paving the way for a new way of understanding and seeing Flamenco.

From Jerez de la Frontera\, Santiago Lara\, one the most respected names in the new generation of Spanish guitarists\, will be joined by Miami’s own la “Princesa del Son” Leslie Cartaya and one of Miami’s most sought out percussionist\, Venezuelan musician Adolfo Herrera to develop a new work that fuses the musical traditions of these three talented artists.

SUMMARY:Koubek Mural Painting Project Call for Submissions
DESCRIPTION:LINK TO APPLICATION \nPROJECT INFO \nMural Painting Project is a collaborative project between an established local muralist and Visual Art Students from New World School of Arts (NWSA)\, Florida’s premier center of excellence in the visual and performing arts. The nature of public art is often site-specific\, created in response to the place and community in which it resides. To this end\, and through this process\, we explore the collaboration between established and emerging artists\, working side by side to highlight the positive impact public art can have on a community. Additionally\, we contribute to the process of visually injecting the spaces of the Koubek Center with artwork created by local artists. \nThe local Muralist will be selected by the Koubek Center Mural Committee\, a group of Koubek staff\, advisory board members\, and previous mural artists. The artist selected will be paid an honorarium to develop the concept of the Mural with input from NWSA students\, as well as to work alongside the students to create the Mural. The final artwork will be part of an ongoing rotation of works for one or two years\, with additional artworks selected for future installation. \nThe artwork submission portal will remain open throughout the Koubek Center Mural Painting Project timeline for applicants to submit. During the current Call for Submissions the Project Committee reserves the option to make no selections from the submission pool and to then reopen or reissue the Call for Submissions. \nOnce an artist has been selected\, the following process will be followed: \n\nSelected artist will enter into a commissioning agreement with Koubek Center for the development\, installation\, display\, and image/copyright use of artwork in college communications.\nVarious meetings will be held between selected artist and NWSA students to come up with the concept of the mural and a mutually agreed upon schedule of work.\nAn honorarium will be paid to the selected artist for the successful delivery of the artwork.\n\nSELECTION CRITERIA \nThe following criteria will be used by the Koubek Center Mural Painting Project committee when identifying artworks for display: \nArtistic Quality: Does the artist present a complete idea and design? Does it add to the aesthetic quality of the campus? Does the artwork meet public expectations for a professionally operated state institution? \nCreativity: Does the artwork display innovation\, excitement\, and interest? This includes style\, use of materials or format\, and subject matter. Does the artist statement support and expand on these aspects? \nTechnical Expertise: Is the artwork suitable for display at large scale? Does the art meet all application and submission requirements? \nBUDGET \nThe selected artist will be awarded an honorarium of $4000\, paid upon completion of the artwork created in conjunction with NWSA Visual Arts Students. \nPlease note that murals will rotate on a one to two-year basis. These timelines and rotation schedule are subject to change at the discretion of the Koubek Center. \nTIMELINE \nSubmission period: April 8\, 2022 to April 29\, 2022 \nDeadline to submit application: April 29\, 2022 \nArtist notification of selection: May 1\, 2022 \nMural creation: May 16-21\, 2022. \n**All dates are subject to change at the discretion of the Committee and/or weather conditions. \nLINK TO APPLICATION

SUMMARY:Eduardo Padron Campus Honors College Colloquiums @ Koubek Center
DESCRIPTION:It is a pleasure for the Koubek Center to host some of the colloquia with students of Eduardo Padron Campus’s Honors College. Part of the mission of the Honors College is to inspire students to be well-rounded citizens of the world. Fittingly\, the series at Koubek began with a stirring conversation on October 21st led by choreographer and dancer Irene Lozano\, director of the Flamenco Dance Institute\, the official school in the United States of the Escuela de Flamenco de Andalucía (Andalusia Flamenco School). The next encounter featured Miami’s own Haitian American multi-disciplinary artist and educator Inez Barlatier. It was an opportunity for students to learn about and explore\, hands -on\, the music\, culture and history of Haiti with an extraordinary performer. The final encounter this year will feature Cuban multi-instrumentalist and composer Michael Gil on December 2 who will take students on a musical journey featuring ancestral instruments of different global indigenous cultures.

SUMMARY:Little Havana Social Club (Leslie Cartaya + Celia Cruz All Stars)
DESCRIPTION:Establecido en 2015\, el Little Havana Social Club es una serie de conciertos y fiestas bailables creados en el espíritu de las fiestas de barrio\, una tradición en América Latina y el Caribe\, que incluye actuaciones musicales\, baile\, juegos al aire libre\, muestras de arte visual\, comidas\, y actividades para toda la familia. Cada evento ofrece muestras de la enorme diversidad de sonidos\, sabores\, y costumbres de nuestras raíces latinas con un toque del Miami cosmopolita de hoy. \nLa cantante cubana Leslie Cartaya lleva en su sangre los ritmos de su tierra\, pero a la vez\, la influencia del jazz y el funk americano han moldeado su personalidad artística hasta alcanzar un estilo musical propio y muy original. Leslie\, la princesa del Son\, se presentó como solista  en el 2013 con su primera producción discográfica denominada “No pares”. Los ritmos de la música caribeña\, Afroamericana\, Afrocubana y Latinoamericana se fusionaron de forma armónica en este álbum que contiene 19 temas\, de los cuales 18 son escritos por Leslie. Leslie también es co-fundadora de la agrupación musical PALO! cuyo disco titulado “This is Afrocuban Funk”\, ha recibido múltiples reconocimientos e incluso fue catalogado por el New York Post como “la música cubana de la nueva generación”. PALO! crea un estilo de música único fusionando el Funk Americano con ritmos Afrocubanos introduciendo elementos del Jazz y la improvisación catalogado por el  Miami New Times como Best Latin Band 2014. Leslie nos presentó su segundo disco como solista “Llévame Contigo” en el 2015. Este disco propuso al igual que No Pares una variedad de géneros donde se mantuvieron el son\, la salsa y el pop del primer disco pero también la cantautora incursiono en nuevos géneros como el reggae\, el vallenato y la bachata. Leslie también continua produciendo para su disquera No Pares Records logrando productos como SonLokos’s debut album “Locos por El Son” nominado a un Latin Grammy 2015 como Mejor Album Tropical Tradicional mientras también continúa componiendo\, un arte que ha tenido la dicha de compartir con compositores de la talla de  Jorge Luis Piloto\, Descemer Bueno\, Elain\, Ángel Arce\, Steve Roitstein\, Philbert Armenteros\, Alexis Valdes\, Mr. Haka\, Michel Fragoso\, El Chino Dreadlion\, Raymer Olalde\, Adriana Foster\, Pavel Núñez\, Latin Fresh\, Marisela Verena\, Pedrito Martinez\, Roman Diaz y sus primos Pepin y Roly Rivero. \nPor más de medio siglo\, la irrepetible Celia Cruz nos deleitó con su talento\, su alegría y su inconfundible voz. Su música sigue inspirando y complaciendo a sus admiradores quienes extrañan sus talentos únicos. Con esa idea nace Celia Cruz All Stars\, una banda integrada por músicos jóvenes de primera línea que se reúnen para homenajear la música que inmortalizó la Guarachera de Cuba. Celia Cruz All Stars revive parte del repertorio de la Reina de la Salsa con temas como “La Negra Tiene Tumbao”\, “Quimbara”\, “Usted Abusó”\, “La Vida Es un Carnaval”\, “Guantanamera”\, “Bemba Colorá”\, entre muchos otros. Celia Cruz All Stars mantendrá su legado vivo para que pueda ser disfrutado por sus admiradores y para que sea conocido y difundido a generaciones futuras. Celia Cruz All Stars\, bajo la dirección de Braily Ramos\, ha ofrecido conciertos y participado en festivales de música a nivel nacional e internacional en Mexico\, USA\, Peru y Colombia. \nLittle Havana Social Club contará nuevamente como presentador y DJ a Mr. Pauer\, cuyo original sonido Electrópico es una mezcla de estilos de raíces caribeñas y ritmos bailables electrónicos. Nacido en Venezuela y residente en Miami desde hace mucho tiempo\, el trabajo del Mr. Pauer enfatiza uno de los lemas de Little Havana Social Club y como la tradición y la tecnología se unen en Miami. \nThe safety of our patrons\, students\, and staff is our priority. Measures to prevent transmission of Covid-19 will be enforced at the event in accordance with federal\, state and local health agency guidance. Facial coverings will be strongly encouraged. We appreciate your collaboration.

SUMMARY:Human Rights Film Festival of Barcelona
DESCRIPTION:The Koubek Center and the Spanish Cultural Center of Miami present\, for the second year in a row\, a selection of films from the Human Rights Film Festival of Barcelona. The event\, featuring films from Spain\, Brazil\, Burkina Faso\, Colombia\, Argentina\, and the Netherlands\, will take place next August 20 and 21st at the Koubek Center’s theater\, and August 22nd online. \nNow in its 17th season\, the mission of the Human Rights Film Festival of Barcelona is “To disseminate cinema that makes us reflect\, awakens consciences\, denounces injustices and reflects the social and cultural diversity of humanity. In the collective search for a sustainable humanity.” \nThis year’s festival addresses issues of global reach such as migration\, gender violence\, or the control of food by multinational corporations but then\, it also explores more personal matters\, such as bullying\, or the fight for respect and the right to a good life by those some states and institutions judge as “different.” The selection features films ranging in length from one to 37 minutes\, include both documentaries and works of fiction. Thematically\, the films range broadly\, including Brazil’s Contramare\, which focuses on the moving of a youth orchestra bringing music and hope to a violent shanty town in Rio de Janeiro; and Burkinabe Bounty\, documenting the local resistance in Burkina Faso for food sovereignty; but also the absurdist\, darkly comical Una Cabrita Sin Cuernos\, from Argentina\, based on actual events\, in which a children’s book sparks the paranoid fears of the military ruling the country. Some are sharply drawn vignettes\, illuminating the hidden drama of poverty (Spain’s Macaroni) or slyly commenting on world destruction (Spain’s Broken Dreams) while others\, such as Spain’s Diversity and Lands\, offers testimony of members of the LGBTQ\, from places as disparate as Honduras\, Bulgaria and Morocco\, persecuted by the state for being “different.” \nAll films are in Spanish with English subtitles.

SUMMARY:Point of Convergence
DESCRIPTION:Point of Convergence – A Musical and Dance Voyage developed by Arsenio Diaz – is a program that recognizes and respects cultural differences by promoting the understanding of ethnic heritage through music and dance. The main purpose of this program is to bring awareness about the need to preserve heritage\, traditions\, and culture. \nThe performance features the use of ethnic instruments such as the Sitar\, Tabla drums\, Bata drums\, and Suona horn (to name a few) to highlight the mesmerizing and skillful Afro-Cuban and Indian dances. This multi-disciplinary show is a journey through music and dance that starts with traditional and ceremonial pieces of each of these differing cultures\, eventually joining one another on stage to show us the points of similarities these two seemingly differing cultures actually hold. We therefore hope to present an original\, didactic\, and exceptional performance that will be fascinating\, educational\, and accessible to our community. The approach to this project is rooted on the conversion of ethnicities and the celebration of multiculturalism and will be performed by artists from our local community – artists with an Indo-American and Afro-Latin heritage. The skills\, experience\, and expertise of the performers\, along with the ravishing sonorities and dances\, will delight and awe the audience with a performance that embodies the heritage\, traditions\, and culture of many of our communities in the South Florida area. \nFeatured Artists – Arsenio Diaz\, Michael Gil\, Marisol Blanco\, Aparna Matange\, Manuel Clua\, Sudhir Limaye\, Eduardo Rodriguez.

SUMMARY:Women of the Caribbean Concert
DESCRIPTION:Three dynamic\, powerful performers — singers\, musicians\, and songwriters Yusa\, Inez Barlatier\, and Keba— headline the concert Women of the Caribbean\, a musical celebration staged outdoors\, in the Koubek’s Gardens\, marking the re-opening of the Koubek for limited-capacity audiences following COVID-19 guidelines. \nYusa is a Cuban a multi-instrumentalist\, singer\, songwriter\, lyricist\,  arranger\, and composer powerhouse. Her work suggests a deep knowledge of Cuban musical traditions such as son and trova\, but updated with elements of jazz\, pop\, and R&B. A classical guitarist by training\, Yusa specialized early on in the tres\, a small six-string guitar-like instrument that is the defining sound of Cuban son\, and later incorporated in her music an electric bass\, keyboards\, and percussion instruments. She was a founding member of Interactivo — an adventurous collective that blended elements of hip-hop\, rock\, jazz\, and blues with Cuban son\, timba\, rumba\, and boleros — before embarking on a solo career that has included collaborations with Brazilian singer and songwriter Lenine\, Omara Portuondo\, Raly Barrionuevo\, Veronica Condomí\, Liliana Vitale\, Nu Deco and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. \nMiami’s own Inez Barlatier is a Haitian-American multi-disciplinary artist and educator. She learned to play guitar from her father\, Jan Sebon\, himself a multi-disciplinary artist and educator and a mainstay of the group Kazak International. Barlatier started performing at the age of 12 and\, in time\,  organized her own band\, Kazoots. She has appeared as a solo performer\, accompanying herself on guitar\, her rich\, expressive voice\, storytelling lyrics\, and on-stage presence evoking the work of folk music-based artists such as Tracy Chapman and Joan Armatrading. \nThe sound of Trinidad-born singer and songwriter Keba is an organic blend of classic soul\, R&B\, and pop (she mentions artists such as Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin as references) mixed with her distinct rhythmic sense. Her lyrics have been described as a mix of “raw vulnerability with a playful exploration of love\, femininity\, and identity as a first-generation immigrant and millennial.” She performs both as a solo artist and a front woman of the funk\, soul\, and R&B band\, Keba & The Usual Suspects. She launched her solo career in 2013 with the release of Wildfire\, and in 2018\, she followed it up with the release of the EP\, Filmstrip.
