As the Co-Founder of América Viva Alliance, Carolina Lizarraga believes in the power of “Mestizaje” to promote the message of inclusion and solidarity. “Our Gala-Show serves as a testament to this remarkable unity between non-profit organizations, artists and brands, coming together to honor and celebrate our cultural diversity, evolution and integration right here in Miami: The Multicultural Capital of the Americas,” she says. “I truly believe that inspiring others starts with the production of these kinds of top-class events, where passion, dedication and commitment fuel the transformation of lives.” Presented by ATR Luxury Homes and Adonel Companies with the generous support of Loud & Live, a global leader in entertainment, marketing & content, in addition to Willy Chirino, this extravaganza will also feature special guest 14-time Grammy winner Paquito D’Rivera. Flamenco star Rafael Campallo, the Miami Children’s Chorus, the New Land Dance Company and the América Viva Band round out more than 150 performers, surrounded by stunning videos telling the story of this journey of rhythm; Oct. 27 at Arsht Center; AmericaVivaAlliance.org.
