Idiosyncratic guitarist/composer Diego Melgar looks back on a decade+ of music-making in every setting across Miami, the vivid and sonically diverse marshland he calls home, joined by an eclectic group of past and present collaborators for a multimedia concert experience combining jazz, R&B, gospel, electronic, and ambient music with choreography and immersive visuals.

Reimagining impactful moments of his musical journey, Diego’s ensemble Swamp Lily will accompany frequent collaborators such as vocalist and composer Dani Amaro, long-time bassist Marty Quinn, sound designer and producer Sohn Jamal, and the Refuge Church Miami Praise Team led by Briana Upton, with musical director Torrance Scott. Choreographers Pioneer Winter, Nicole Pedraza and Junior Domingos will also revisit previous collaborations with Diego, all as the Bandshell is immersed in projected visuals by artists Nika Dotsenko and Diago Leon.

The North Beach Social is the free monthly night of music for our music loving community.
