What wonderful weather we’re having in Miami today! (Thank you, cold front!) It’s going to be a perfect evening to head downtown to the Gusman for The Rhythm Foundation’s latest presentation of world music.
Three masterful genre-benders and the leading virtuosos on their respective instruments, Béla Fleck, Zakir Hussain and Edgar Meyer move with ease among the worlds of classical, bluegrass and world music. Three of the most limitless creators and composers in the history of music, Fleck, Hussain and Meyer share an unprecedented array of projects and pairings among them that touch every geographical and stylistic corner of the musical world.
Visit The Rhythm Foundation’s website for a sample of the trio’s music, and check yesterday’s excellent Miami Herald article by Bob Weinberg to learn more about these world-class artists and their “cultural collision.”
If you don’t already have your tickets, just go to the box office or visit Ticketmaster online.
This Rhythm Foundation event is presented with support from DWNTWNR magazine.
