When Big Night in Little Haiti began three years ago, Rara Kuyu invited the organizers to a large gathering at his studio, to make sure that rasin music had a part of the series. What a group – top locally-based dancers, musicians, artists. Rara Kuyu and his 15-member Universal Soul Love group launched Big Night with a bang, setting the tone for an amazing monthly night of music. Now we celebrate the 3rd Anniversary, and welcome back to the stage one of Miami’s artistic anchors.

A night of rara and roots to celebrate a good Friday at Big Night. Rara Kuyu and Universal Soul Love have created an massive production of roots music and dance. Born in Port-au-Prince, Kuyu is a gifted painter, muralist and musician. If you’ve been to Tap Tap, you’ve seen his beautiful murals. The band, featuring performance and dancers, is anchored by a commitment to Haitian percussion and musical exploration.
