This event has passed.
Live Latin rhythms, percussion and DJ sets carry a Friday night lineup at Ball & Chain in Little Havana. Miami Boheme: Calixto Oviedo takes place Friday, June 19, with live music by Oviedo and a set by DJ OZZ. The 21-and-over event runs from 8 p.m. to close with no cover.
A Latin Grammy-nominated percussionist, Oviedo has performed with artists including Paquito D’Rivera, Arturo Sandoval, Chucho Valdés, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Ray Barretto and Giovanni Hidalgo. Born in Havana, he was part of influential Cuban ensembles including Adalberto y Su Son and N.G. La Banda, where his drums and timbales helped shape the group’s timba sound.
The Miami Boheme series pairs live Latin music with DJ sets across Ball & Chain’s indoor stage and open-air patio. Guests can expect a dance-focused mix rooted in salsa, timba, Latin jazz, funk and Cuban rhythms along Calle Ocho.
