Every year, FUNDarte and Miami Light Project, team up to present Global Cuba Fest, an internationally acclaimed celebration of the culture and rhythms of Cuba, with concerts by an exciting array of artists. Featuring today’s leading musicians, 2025 marks the program’s 18th year of bringing the most innovative artists representing the gamut of contemporary music from Cuba and its diaspora. This year, we are thrilled to present Alain Pérez y La Orquesta at the Miami Beach Bandshell! Bassist, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Alain Pérez is one of Cuba’s most active and versatile musicians on the international scene today. He has performed and recorded with jazz legends in various musical vernaculars, forming part of the original Chucho Valdés Quartet that recorded on Blue Note Records, as the bassist of the renowned Paco de Lucía sextet, for the flamenco singer Enrique Morente, and was also part of the new Jerry González quartet. He is band leader and producer for numerous projects, including his own orchestral project. He is a Grammy winner and nominee in multiple categories as interpreter and author and deeply cherished as a producer and ambassador of Latin Jazz and Cuban Popular music worldwide. Food & beverage are available for purchase at the show. The Bandshell is an open-air covered venue, all programs are rain or shine. Your ticket, once purchased, is non-refundable.
