MOCA NoMi: Official Closing Ceremony of PÒTOPRENS
August 11, 2019 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Sunday, August 11th from 3-4pm enjoy the Official Closing Ceremony of PÒTOPRENS: The Urban Artists of Port-Au-Prince at the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (MOCA NoMi). Experience a set of beautiful and enchanting songs by Dracula in the MOCA, North Miami main gallery to ceremoniously close the PÒTOPRENS: The Urban Artist of Port-au-Prince exhibition.
The Miami based duo Dracula are one of the foremost folk acts of Miami and South Florida, with a solid following not only in the music circles but also in the art and gallery scene of the Magic City. Dracula’s signature style of intricately harmonized vocals over an acoustic guitar is easily identifiable and has garnered them a solid following in Florida. Having released several EPs on cassette, Dracula is now releasing their highly anticipated debut LP, called Dorys & Eli. The album is out now via Sweat Records Records. Their songs are mostly in English and/or Spanish, but their repertoire includes songs in Portuguese, French, and Japanese. Dracula performs mostly covers, tributes or interpretations of artists and songs they admire, not limiting their selection to folk. A great example of this is their take on Selena’s “Como La Flor”, which made NPR’s top 100 tracks of 2018.
