This year’s Rhythms of Africa at the Miramar Cultural Center (April 26th & 27th, 2025) was nothing short of breathtaking. Two sold-out nights filled the theater with electrifying music, vibrant dance, and an atmosphere so powerful it united families and fans from Florida, across the U.S., Canada, and Jamaica. “MUSIC TO MY EARS” was more than a concert—it was a soulful journey.
The rhythms brought healing to the mind, love to the heart, food for the soul, and a surge of energy that left the audience on their feet, cheering long after the final note.
Hosted by Mayor Wayne Messam and presented by Embrace Music Foundation, the City of Miramar, and the Commission. Produced by Solutions In Music.
