In addition to the music, there will also be live performances and fine art exhibitions through 8th Street between 14th and 16th avenues starting at 7:00 p.m. Agape is a new sound fit and reflective of the new millennium. The band offers an international sound that encompasses neo-soul, dub, broken-beat, nu-jazz, latin and dub-house. Son Miami Orchestra is a ten-piece modern charanga ensemble that brings a touch of latin jazz. A live performance at the Domino Plaza will include DJ Erik Paredes, who will be spinning soulful latin beats while artist of the month Eva Ruiz will be painting live.
