MIAMI \u2014 If you\u2019re looking for a new way to experience live music in Miami, Wynwood has something that might just scratch that itch.<\/p>\n
Leer en espa\u00f1ol<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s called \u201cOn & On,\u201d and it\u2019s a new rooftop series that blends hip-hop, R&B and live instrumentals.<\/p>\n On & On is fusing artists of today with artists of the past.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s all a nod, of course, to the song, to Erykah Badu, to that era for sure, but it also is really the meaning of the words themselves. We don\u2019t want the party to end,\u201d international recording artist Maya Azucena said. <\/p>\n Inside Wynwood\u2019s Shiso, a new rooftop experience is taking shape, honoring the golden age of hip-hop and R&B, but giving it a live, soulful twist.<\/p>\n \u201cDJ music is great, but live music experience — you really feel it in your soul,\u201d Michael Rutter, of Forward Hospitality Group, said. <\/p>\n The live music reimagines songs you already know. <\/p>\n \u201cWhen you do mashups — a fusion of hip-hop you\u2019ve heard today, Cardi B with Roy Ayers backing music. Or like a jazz song meets a Fresh Prince song. It\u2019s going to be like putting the worlds together,\u201d Azucena said. <\/p>\n The live music features jazz, R&B and improvisation. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a very dynamic show,\u201d Azucena said. \u201cIt has such a nostalgic, incredible, throwback vibe meets today. We\u2019re going to be fusing hip-hop with live R&B classics, mixed with solos and jazz — it\u2019s going to be the full-on live experience.\u201d<\/p>\n Azucena is leading the way, bringing that 90s feeling back to life for those who grew up with it and for those experiencing it for the first time.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not an era where we did everything for the camera,\u201d Azucena said. \u201cIt was an era where we tried to work out what we were going through, through these songs. We talked about our pain, but at the other side of that song was a celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n The space itself is just as curated, from graffiti details that keep that Wynwood edge, to a rooftop setup built for the experience. The food and drinks are part of the experience too, with craft cocktails and Shiso\u2019s signature Asian smokehouse bites.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve added a quarter million dollars\u2019 worth of sound and lights on top on our existing sound system and light system, which was pretty extravagant,\u201d Rutter said. \u201cThe facility sets up more of a corner view, which I think is very unique. We set up a 40-seat bar.\u201d<\/p>\n The space has room for hundreds, inside and out and a front-row feel from just about anywhere.<\/p>\n \u201cMusic is limitless, and music shows us how limitless we are,\u201d Azucena said. <\/p>\n On & On has live performances every Friday night.<\/p>\n For ticket information and more details, click here. <\/a><\/p>\n Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com – All rights reserved.<\/p>\n
