Tribeca’s pop-up Music Lounge, taking place at Understory (formerly the Center For Subtropical Affairs) in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, will continue throughout the weekend. Upcoming performances include Kamaal Williams, Deem Spencer, Butterfly Snapple, and Rhythm Portal, as well as DJ sets from Grammy-winning artist Flying Lotus, Jitwam, Baltra, Blaketheman1000 and The Dare, Willy Soul, and Kumi. And later today, Grammy-winning artist Chance the Rapper will be in conversation with artists Nikko Washington and Yannis Davy Guibinga about redefining the notion of ‘album art’ while celebrating Black artists.
The Music Lounge in Miami follows on the heels of Tribeca’s successful Music Lounge at the Tribeca Festival in June. The four-day event with Pitchfork showcased live performances by Onyx Collective, Show Me the Body, Duendita, YL, Eli Keszler, DJ Huerco S, and an appearance from techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson, along with a live broadcast of the “How Long Gone” podcast, and a “Battle of the Bands” with Drunken Canal.
