From the fast-paced energy of New York to the vibrant cultural heartbeat of Miami, An American in Miami by Marcos Campos Salas takes us on a musical journey of transformation. Blending jazz, symphonic colors, danzón, and Latin pop, the work paints the story of discovery, identity, and belonging in one of the world’s most diverse cities.
Inspired by the iconic sound that helped shape Miami’s global cultural identity, the piece also pays tribute to the legacy of Gloria Estefan and Emilio Estefan, whose music helped define the city’s international voice.
The performance featured a special voice-over by DJ Khaled, adding his unmistakable Miami energy to the narration of An American in Miami, bringing a contemporary sound and powerful connection to the city’s cultural scene.
A powerful World Premiere by The Miami Symphony Orchestra celebrating the rhythm, diversity, and spirit that make Miami truly unique.
