    DJ Volume isn’t turning the Miami sound down (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There was something almost cinematic about the way DJ Volume delivered the news. Sitting alone on a wooden stool in an all-black room, dressed entirely in black, Junigar Herrera stared into the camera with the measured calm of someone who had already replayed the conversation in his head a hundred times. The room was stark. The mood was heavy. It felt like the air before a South Florida storm, when the sky turns strange, and everyone knows something is coming. “For the last six years, I’ve had o

    Sofar Sounds wants you to stop scrolling and start listening (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Sofar Sounds thrives by bringing live music to you in mysterious ways. The global concert platform, that recently returned to Miami, is known for putting artists in unexpected spaces while keeping the venue and lineup under wraps until you’re practically on your way. Now Sofar is taking that spirit of musical discovery online with the Listening Club, a new monthly music club that asks listeners to slow down, press play, and spend some quality time with a record from musicians somewhere in the wo

    Afro-Cuban duo Okan is making music without borders (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Celia Cruz’s voice is entering the AI era. But her estate says her music never will (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Picture this: It’s 2045. A group of elementary school students wanders through a museum exhibit dedicated to Celia Cruz. As they stop in front of one of her dazzling stage gowns, the Queen of Salsa begins telling them its story herself — not through an actor, not through a narrator, but in the unmistakable warmth and cadence of her own voice. It sounds like science fiction. Instead, it’s the future Omer Pardillo has spent years trying to imagine. The longtime manager, closest confidant, and exec
