    <description>Pop singer Alejandro Sanz&amp;#39;s last record, El Tren de los Momentos, came out three years ago amid a slew of troubles for the Spanish heartthrob: his father died; he divorced his wife, Mexican model Jaydy Michel, mother of his daughter Manuela; a couple who worked at Sanz&amp;#39;s Miami Beach home were accused of blackmailing him with information that he had a son in an affair; and Sanz had a nervous breakdown that forced a months-long hiatus in a concert tour.</description>

    <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>I&amp;#39;m basically a gin-and-tonic type of guy, but lately I&amp;#39;ve developed a taste for a variety of vino. On the lookout for a wine I hadn&amp;#39;t sampled, I stopped at J. Mark&amp;#39;s Restaurant &amp;amp; Bar, at 1490 NE 23rd St. (Copans Road) in Pompano Beach. It has a renowned, out-of-the-ordinary wine list, and I knew that bartender and wine connoisseur Ashley Kester would point my palate in the right direction.</description>

    <description>When it comes to watering holes in Miami, few can be considered underground. Before we figured out that it was behind a furniture store directly across from Midtown Miami, we&amp;#39;d have filed Bardot under that category. Same goes for Lou&amp;#39;s Beer Garden, where a roadside neon sign beckons from Harding Avenue amid low rises and motels. Drive too fast, and you may miss the place. But if you like the idea of off-the-beaten-path beer and wine with a sleek poolside setting in a neighborhood not usually known for things sleek, slow down and stop at all-green The New Hotel at 7337 Harding Ave.</description>

    <description>See a tabloid name in person at the Dolphin Mall Friday when DJ Samantha Ronson -- whose name has been more affiliated with Lindsay Lohan than with her turntable mastery -- spins. She&amp;#39;s part of the G by Guess Ultimate Remix DJ tour, which comes to our neck of the woods -- specifically the Ramblas Plaza -- from 8:30-11:30 p.m. The location is a far cry from LIV or Cameo, but how refreshing to be able to check out such a talent at the wholesome West Miami outlet mall. Local DJ Troy Kurtz kicks off the party, and free Rockstar beverages will be on tap. Because it&amp;#39;s a family friendly event, there is no booze so you&amp;#39;ll really be able to tell if Ronson is talented or the Grey Goose has been misleading you all these years. No cover charge, but it is advised you arrive early or else you may have to battle Lohan for a spot. Just kidding.</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>

    <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>
