Velvet Underground: Latin Funk You Up

 

This week’s “Velvet Underground” post on Miami.com by Lesley Abravanel features a mention of the May 8th Electric Piquete performance at Ball & Chain.

Latin Funk You Up

Ball & Chain, 1513 SW 8th Street may be an old jazz haunt, but it definitely doesn’t forget where it lives, paying homage to its Latin environs with bands such as Electric Piquete, which performs on the Pineapple Stage at 10 p.m. Friday, May 8. The party’s being hosted by award-winning director Joe Cardona, whose 2014 documentary “Miami Boheme” won an Aurora Best in Show award for its story of Miami’s Latin fusion music scene. Electric Piquete’s original “En La Playa Giron” is on the soundtrack and the band will play it, along with many others, in two sets. No cover.
