Before launching Escala Sonora as a live music series in 2021, Miami-based promoters Mishu gifted the city with performances by coveted indie artists like The Flaming Lips, M.I.A., alt-J, Chromeo, MGMT and Sofi Tukker via its House of Creatives Music Festival (HOC Fest) at Historic Virginia Key Beach Park. These days, they're focused on bringing rising Latin American music talent to the community in the form of one-off concerts and showcases around South Florida.
In the midst of this year's action-packed Billboard Latin Music Week headlined by Shakira, La Escala Sonora mini-festival will over Miami Beach Bandshell with a lineup of rising Caribbean artists including Villano Antillano, Rafa Pabön, YEИDRY, RaiNao, Letón Pé and Calacote. A more free-spirited, family-friendly alternative to Billboard’s “biggest week in Latin music,” the indie showcase features a jam-packed six acts in under five hours, with island cuisine on offer, too.
