Taking inspiration from Italy and other parts of Europe where she cultivated her talents and performed at prestigious venues, and Venezuela, where her entrepreneurial spirit came to the forefront while overseeing her father’s manufacturing industries after his passing, Amarylli now utilizes her experience and know-how as an active part of the Key Biscayne community to help children and adults alike learn to play the piano; KBPianoAcademy.com. — Natasha Albornoz
Celebrating Culture
The only Spanish-language conservatory in the country, our very own Teatro Prometeo, turns 40 this year, igniting a joyous cause for celebration in the Hispanic theatre scene. The theatre is not only a space for creativity and opportunity, it’s a success story behind some of the most prominent Hispanic talent on the American stage. Classes are offered year-round and a steady stream of events is continuously a part of the calendar so you don’t have much reason to miss out on experiencing your own little piece of culture in the city; TeatroPrometeo.com. —Natasha Albornoz

This duo’s music will make you dance from the very first funky beat to the last vibration of bass. The love-child of Smurphio & Cuci Amador formed in 2006 and has travelled the world tearing up dance floors ever since. We’re lucky to have them back home performing on a regular basis after their most recent release, Wig Party; Afrobeta.com.
