Miami Science Museum's newest exhibit Music, Música is really two. It combines telling the story of Latino music with a look at music from a cultural and scientific perspective.

The American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music show includes historical recounts, imagery and memorabilia from such artists as Celia Cruz, Ritchie Valens, Tito Puente, Daddy Yankee, El Vez and Santana.

More than 100 artifacts are in the exhibit, including Valens' Harmony electric guitar and a gown worn by salsa star Cruz.

The Access All Areas exhibit is an interactive experience that explores music from a more scientific perspective.

The show has 33 interactive kiosks and focuses on physics, technology, history and artistry.

The exhibit also challenges participants to keep the beat, sing in tune, mix tracks, play a never-ending scale, conjure music from thin air and learn to ''see'' music among other activities. The exhibit also includes a portrait gallery with photographs of music legends like Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger, Madonna and The Beatles.

Music Música will debut at the Miami Science Museum, 3280 S. Miami Ave., on Saturday with a free street festival from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

The festival will include live musical performances, including a BMI Showcase featuring Grammy nominated artist Alih Jey.

There also will be foods, community booths, giveaways, rides and a children's activity area.

Tickets for the exhibit are $18 for adults, $13 for children and $16 for students and seniors with 15 percent off to Miami-Dade County residents with proof of ID.
