Jazz in the Jungle: Munir Hossn & GypsySamba + DJ Kumi
This event has passed.
An outdoor jazz concert blends global rhythms and improvisation within a relaxed, open-air setting designed for an unhurried evening of live music.
Jazz in the Jungle with Munir Hossn & GypsySamba + DJ Kumi takes place on Friday, December 19, at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. Presented by Miami Jazz Booking and Boa Sorte, this installment of the ongoing Jazz in the Jungle series features Munir Hossn, a Brazilian composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer whose work draws from Afro-Brazilian rhythms, jazz, funk and global musical traditions. Raised in Bahia and now based in Miami, Hossn’s projects reflect a cross-cultural approach shaped by collaboration and improvisation.
For this performance, Hossn appears with GypsySamba, an ensemble that interprets Brazilian rhythmic forms through jazz-oriented arrangements, allowing samba, jazz and contemporary improvisation to intersect organically. The evening also includes DJ selections by DJ Kumi, bridging live performance with groove-driven recordings amid the garden's lush setting.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase, with offerings from Tequila Town and Stanzioni, serving Neapolitan-style pizza.
