McArthur Café

Even if the Haitian music scene is dominated by men, Miami's best venue for live shows is powered by women. Since 1999, general manager Vivian Lazarre's female bartending crew at the McArthur Café, Miami's best Haitian club, has kept crowds of up to 800 fans happy. Out-of-town thrillers such as System, Sweet Mickey and King Posse alternate with local favourites Zenglen and D-Zine on Friday and Sunday nights. Weekly dance contests put the fans in the spotlight.
