Miramar

About This Show

Join us on our patio for an incredible evening of live music featuring the Boleros Tropical by local legend, Miramar! With roots in the golden-era bolero sound of 1950 s Puerto Rico, Miramar weaves in the romantic pop sensibilities and orchestral ballad styles that defined international music in the 1960 s and ’70. Originally an offshoot of the indie-salsa band Bio Ritmo, Miramar was one of the first Latin groups to perform on NPR’s Tiny Desk and has since shared its distinctive take on bolero worldwide, performing across the globe often collaborating with string quartets and orchestras. Their music has been released on leading independent labels, including Brooklyn’s world music connoisseurs Barbès Records and renowned soul revival label Daptone Records. Joining them on stage is Yeni Nostalji, a captivating collaboration between American-Lebanese vocalist Christina Marie and Turkish double bassist Ayça Kartari. Together, they weave a sound that feels like a lost transmission from a 1960 s global radio station: intimate, playful, and deeply mesmerizing. Also joining them is DJ Doguchi, with vinyl selections to keep the vibes going all night! Procedes for this event will benefit local non-profit: Diversity Richmond, a hub of the LGBTQ+ community of Greater Richmond connecting people, partners and programs through our work as a catalyst, a voice, a place and a resource. Bring all your pals to this one, folks! Can't wait to see you there!
