VERKA SERDUCHKA is the Eurovision sensation: her iconic performance is considered by most as one of the best in the history of this contest. After decades on stage, her live show easily gathers a hundred thousand crowds in any major city of the post-Soviet territory, as it was in Kyiv recently. Verka made a cameo in 2015 20th Century Fox blockbuster SPY with Melissa McCarthy and Jude Law. Verka's mixture of exploding energy, self-irony, and very easy-to-ingest catchy tunes can make it work. Verka is a very "crossover" on-stage persona, like a wonderful mixture of something that is not usually mixable - Gogol Bordello meets Dame Edna Everage in one person. VERKA SERDUCHKA is the most adorable and demanded artist in the territory of most of Eastern European, the Baltic, and all the countries where people watch Eurovision. VERKA SERDUCHKA & BAND's first charity tour outside of Ukraine since the beginning of the war will also cover North America. The full band will rock Miami!

Award-winning guitarist José Luis presents a brand new work, “Introspective.” 2020 was a year marked by a pandemic, but it also exposed a society in decline and a spiritually impoverished world that cries for change yet is not quite sure of what it wants. It has been a long time since humankind has experienced such a high degree of fragility. It seems that we have lost our North, that we are not capable of taking the reins of this absurd and sordid chaos. Introspective is born amid this absurd and surreal moment. It is born under a necessity provoked by solitude and distance and from a completely personal vision of this “new reality”, of packed trains and of empty theatre, of face masks and hand sanitizer, and confinements.

Within a serene candle-lit setting, the hustle and bustle of the holiday season will quiet and the acapella voices of Seraphic Fire will fill the room with musical peace and joy.
