FREE Concert @ Bayfront Park - Friday!

This Friday, February 13, 2009 at 5:30pm Miami DDA will host a FREE concert in Bayfront Park at Tina Hills Pavilion as a part of the Downtown Miami Concert Series. This show will feature two amazing artists, LA-based singer Chana with special guest Afrobeta. Food and Drinks will be available. This is going to be a great show. We would love to see you all there!

Chana is an LA-based singer whose tropical sound can be described as global hip-pop, with touches of reggae-dub and funk. Born in New York City and raised by a party-loving Dominican family, her father's salsa and R&B records were a sonic constant while growing up. At the age of nine, Chana and her family moved to Miami and she trained in modern dance at the "Fame"-like magnet New World School of the Arts. After settling in LA Chana became a co-host on the "On-Air with Ryan Seacrest" show.

Soon after Chana decided to focus on her music and she hooked up with producer Marthin Chan, whose previous work with Volumen Cero had earned him a Latin Grammy nomination. The duo began collaborating in 2005, and were aided by friend Jorge Elbrecht of the New York art collective Lansing-Dreiden. Their first batch of demos includes "No Me Mandes Flores," which found significant exposure on Latin radio and TV, was also the third most downloaded song on iTunes Latino in March 08.
