Kelela

Miami, FL – December 4, 2014 – Pérez Art Museum Miami marked its one year anniversary in the new, and now iconic, waterfront building with an immersive evening of music and visuals featuring the first U.S. performance by Future Brown with live vocalist Kelela. Guest performers included Total Freedom, Ian Isiah and Maluca. Taking the spotlight at one of the most anticipated events on the Art Basel Miami Beach VIP calendar was Future Brown, the internationally acclaimed DJ collective comprised of artist and composer Fatima Al Qadiri; Asma Maroof and Daniel Pineda of Nguzunguzu; and J-Cush of Lit City Trax. Accompanied with vocals for the first time in the U.S., Future Brown was joined by guests from their forthcoming album on Warp Records slated for release this winter. The night opened with solo performances by Kelela and Fade To Mind artist Total Freedom with guest appearances by Ian Isiah and Maluca, all of who have garnered a strong following of music industry contemporaries and critics. Future Brown and vocalists performed on a custom stage with a vibrant light and video production by THV Entertainment to the backdrop of a dynamic water sports event involving a flyboarding performance in Biscayne Bay choreographed by DIS Magazine. The museum’s façade was used to project the premiere of the PAMM-commissioned music video, Vernáculo featuring Maluca, from Future Brown’s debut album. Over 6,000 guests flooded the terrace to capture the vibrant spectacle as they mixed and mingled to the energetic beat. In between catching the performance guests were encouraged to Undo Ordinary at the custom Kim Crawford Casa Mariposa bar, featuring Kim Crawford’s iconic 2014 Sauvignon Blanc and 2013 Pinot Noir wines, as well as Kelvin Natural Slush Co. crafted signature Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc-infused slushes.

PAMM Presents Future Brown featuring Kelela, A DIS Magazine + THV Entertainment Production, was organized by Pérez Art Museum Miami Time-Based Art Coordinator, Katerina Llanes and sponsored by Citi. Additional support was provided by Opulence International Realty. Vernáculo featuring Maluca was commissioned by PAMM in conjunction with this event, which was made possible with in-kind support from MilkMade.com and Capture This NYC.
