In 2018, the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs launched the Lo Mío En Vivo Spanish Language Performance Series in Little Havana, featuring Spanish-language musical concerts, dance shows and theater plays, at the Miami-Dade County Auditorium (MDCA). Owned and operated by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, the Miami-Dade County Auditorium is a 2,372-seat theatre in Little Havana, Miami. Historically, Miami-Dade County Auditorium, which opened its doors in 1951, has served as an incubator for supporting the work of arts groups and artists of color. Soon after the immigration from Cuba to Miami began in the early 1960s, the surrounding neighborhood became known as Little Havana and MDCA began to take on a Hispanic/Latino/a/x flavor. The Miami-Dade County Auditorium has, for decades, also served as a gathering ground for community engagement, advancement in the arts and a center for outreach to future audiences. The Lo Mío En Vivo Spanish Language Performance Series in Little Havana draws upon the rich cultural tapestry in Miami, combining international productions traveling to Miami from Europe and Latin America with locally produced presentations, including music concerts, dance performances and theater productions, in order to create programing that is a reflection of Miami’s diverse population.
