FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Award-winning Cuban folk group Cortadito to perform at the Doral Yard October 11
Miami, FL – September 23, 2024 – Community Arts and Culture (CAC) is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 – October 15) with a free event featuring the Cuban folk group Cortadito. The event will take place at The Doral Yard (8455 NW 53rd St Suite 106, Doral, FL 33166) on Friday, October 11, beginning at 8 p.m.
“We’re looking forward to celebrating our Cuban roots and sharing our music with the people of Doral for Hispanic Heritage Month,” says CAC Founder and Executive Director Jose Elias. “We appreciate the opportunities presented by The Doral Yard, and grateful to the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs for their support.” Elias is also the co-founder and tresero for Cortadito.
Since its origins twelve years ago, the evolution of Cortadito has led it to become one of the torchbearers of a pop culture phenomenon that is two centuries strong. A traditional folk and acoustic band that focuses on performing one of the earliest styles of Cuban country music known as Son (pronounced sOwn), their sound can best be described as reminiscent of the famed Buena Vista Social Club.
The Doral Yard is a community gathering space offering culinary delights, live entertainment, and events in Downtown Doral. The 20,000-square-foot space is divided into two indoor/outdoor zones: The Hub and The Backyard. There are two full liquor bars and several dining and desert options available.
Cortadito is a local favorite and has enjoyed a monthly residency at the indoor / outdoor mini food hall and live entertainment venue for three years now. They are set to deliver two sets of original music and traditional Cuban numbers in the style known as son montuno.
Event support is provided by the Monroe County Tourism Development Council, FKBC, and the Morada Way Arts and Culture district. For more information, visit CACMiami.org.
