Live Musical Performances Essay
This semester I have experience many live musical performances. Some of these performances have let me down but for the most part, these performances have been everything I ever expected. My two favorite performances this semester were Festival Vallenato and Ultra Music Festival. Although these two types of music are different in every way possible, the people and the performers are exactly where I feel I am in the right place.
Both of these events were held in Bayfront Park. This is a very famous location to host events like Festival Vallenato and Ultra Music Festival. Bayfront Park is located 301 north Biscayne Boulevard Miami, Florida. This park is home to events year round.
The park began construction in 1924 and was officially opened in March 1925. Bayfront Park is maintained by the Bayfront Park Management Trust. Bayfront Park is bordered on the north by Bayside Marketplace and the American Airlines Arena, on the south by Chopin Plaza, on the west by Biscayne Boulevard and on the east by Biscayne Bay. Bayfront Park is host to many large events such as the New Year's ball drop, Christmas celebrations, concerts, the Bayfront Park Amphitheater, the Tina Hills Pavilion, as well as boat tours around Biscayne Bay.
Festival Vallenato was at the beginning of this semester. On February 26, 2012 a group of friends and I put on our most Colombian attire and headed for this event. This festival begins at 12:00 and ends at 11:45 with non-stop Vallenatos playing throughout the almost twelve hours.
Colombia. This festival is all about being Colombian. Yes, other nationalities are found there and different people go to this festival because they enjoy the music but for the most part, this is a Colombian’s paradise. To most of the Colombian community that lives in Miami and in near places this festival is not just a concert, it is not just a party but it is a tradition to go and enjoy the music that comes straight out of our land.
