    <description>Omara Portuondo could be any Cuban grandmother, if that grandmother were a world-famous singer with tales to tell (and keep) about 60 years of music and celebrity and separation. Sequestered in a downtown Miami hotel, this legend of Cuban music, elegant and consummately professional at 79, wears a spangled black headscarf for photographs on a rare day of interviews. Her feet, however, are nestled into white athletic socks and flat, cork-soled sandals. When she sings -- and she sings several times -- the room seems to vibrate with the emotion in her voice.</description>

    <description>Sleepless nights don&amp;#39;t always have to be an unwelcome side effect of anxiety. On Saturday, you can put the z&amp;#39;s aside in favor of Sleepless Night. Starting at 6 p.m. you can stimulate your senses with an assortment of arts and entertainment diversions from Ocean Drive to Normandy Fountain until 7 a.m. Sunday. The event will feature everything from virtual reality live animation performances and flash mob dances to pajama runs and -- in the wake of that whole balloon boy fiasco -- a show by helium balloon acrobats. There&amp;#39;s also a pre-dawn showing of classic cartoons and live music as well as a yoga class for those who insist on doing the downward dog before trying the hair of the dog. The Catalina Hotel and Beach Club will offer options for sleep as well as an assortment of pop art installations and unplugged live music all night long. Best of all, the entire all nighter is free. For a schedule, locations and more, go to www.sleeplessnight.org.

    <description>Halloween&amp;#39;s not until next Saturday, but that doesn&amp;#39;t mean you have wait to sport that spiffy new Kate Gosselin wig. Wear it to Vizcaya&amp;#39;s 23rd annual Halloween Sundowner, which takes place 8 p.m.-midnight this Saturday. The $125 ticket includes open super-premium bar, music from dual DJs, two dance floors, Halloween costume contest and food court. One hundred percent of proceeds benefit Vizcayans Young Professionals, which engages in protecting and preserving the estate. And while Jon &amp;amp; Kate costumes may not be the most novel thing about the party, what&amp;#39;s completely new is the fact that this year&amp;#39;s bash is going green (and not in the way that you would if you ate too much candy or dressed up like the Wicked Witch of the West). According to event chair Karl Klein, ``By incorporating environmentally friendly practices into the fundraiser, the Vizcayans Young Professionals further align with Vizcaya&amp;#39;s mission of conservancy.&amp;#39;&amp;#39; 305-856-4866 or www.vizcayahalloween.com.</description>

Celebrating its 13th season from Oct. 14-17, Funkshion will have runways at the Setai and the Bass Museum of Art, which will also double as a &amp;#39;&amp;#39;gifting and accessories showcase,&amp;#39;&amp;#39; which is a fancy way of saying, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Freeloader Headquarters.&amp;#39;&amp;#39; The big highlight of this year&amp;#39;s Funkshion is the 8 p.m. Wednesday opening at the Setai, featuring Rich&amp;#39;s A*muse line presented by Pamela Anderson.</description>

    <description>The title alone would inspire incredulity. Though pre-Castro Cuba had symphony orchestras that recorded standard repertoire, that&amp;#39;s not happening here. This Miami-based septet of Cuban extraction uses standard electric, percussion and brass instruments in a series of Cuban-flavored fantasias on a theme by Bach, whose music often functions as a stylistically neutral backbone for an extremely inventive ensemble.</description>
