Support the independent voice of South Florida and help keep the future of New Times free.
Bands like Locos Por Juana, Arboles Libres, Omine Eager, AT Molina, Vincent Raffard, The State Of, Ketchy Shuby, Jan Sebon Jose Elias, Elsten Torres, Xperimento, Bayonics, and Michelle Forman started donating one hour of their time every Tuesday at the Easter Seals of South Florida Memory Gym to perform for Alzheimer's patients there and engage them with their music starting this past January.
Patients stomped their feet and danced to punk, rock, reggae, hip-hop and deep soul, and local filmmakers and photographers have documented the magic leading up to Local Impact's multimedia exhibit, taking place next Thursday, May 20th at the Miami Science Museum. Local Impact's "Medicine to Rock Your Soul" will also feature live music from some of the bands involved in the program.
See a video of the music therapy session with Locos Por Juana after the jump.
"Medicine to Rock Your Soul," Thursday May 20th, at 7:30 p.m. Miami Science Museum, 3280 S. Miami Avenue. miamisci.org
Keep New Times Broward-Palm Beach Free... Since we started New Times Broward-Palm Beach, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of South Florida, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering South Florida with no paywalls.
