At just 14 years of age, she composed her first song and from that moment, she never stopped. In 2009, she formally began her solo career, resulting in her first single called “At the End of the Storm.” It was recorded in Spanish and English, achieving success in the local industry, as well as internationally and standing out for the incorporation of important figures from the Argentine musical repertoire.

“I started to compose my first songs because I felt that I should transmit my values, my beliefs, my ideas, to the people closest to me. I never thought that people would be so moved by my lyrics and those composing songs it would become my career. Without a doubt, leaving a positive message and helping people through my art is the greatest reward, it is my engine to continue composing,” Janet expressed it with great conviction and feeling.

Her life has been imbued with great experiences that have impacted her both personally and professionally, giving her an important space as a representative of Argentine music in the world. She was awarded in her country by government authorities and chosen from among all the candidates, to accompany the Governor of Mendoza and represent the culture of Argentina in China. Based on this important event for her province, as well as for her musical career, in 2017 she was invited by the owner of the renowned and distinguished Spanish restaurant in Florida, “El Bodegón”, to promote, through her music, the culture of her country.

“El Bodegón gave me the first opportunity to perform in different multicultural shows. I am very grateful to them for having given me the opportunity and necessary support to grow my artistic career abroad” … Janet Panelo.

Janet Panelo is currently amid a new musical project with songs in Spanish and English, accompanied by renowned producer Paul Hoyle, with a record label “Olde Bear Music”. He has worked for musical legends such as Shakira, Julio Iglesias, Palito Ortega, María Martha Serra Lima, among others. Without a doubt and as a first scoop, the first song that begins his album, entitled: “I Wanna Go Home“, also recorded in Spanish (“Volver al Amor”), provides a powerful message of hope in the face of adversity in life, accompanied by sensitive melodies that promise to make this release a musical success of 2020.

Ivory and Africa’s agony. A Call To Artists 2 Make A Stink.

A Call To Artists… How on earth are we going to explain the elephants‘ extinction to our children? Recent news about the destruction of six tonnes of ivory highlighted the global cull rate of elephants at 30,000 per year, with world estimates at 300,000, mankind is set to eradicate the lovable pachyderm forever in less than ten years or sooner yet. In the 1970’s when Pachyderms numbered 10 million, the cull rate for ivory was 100,000 per an-um until a group of artists dedicated their resources and talents with the World Wild Life Fund to change the public’s attitude and the cull rate dropped significantly. 30 years later the Chinese are circumventing the CITES Lusuka arrangement to only use 25 yr or  older harvested tusks,  The Chinese alone are buying and processing 80% of the murder of the planet’s most beloved creature,  right before the eyes of the ECCAS.  [Economic Community of Central African States],The Central African Republic estimating only 17% remaining since 2010

Ivory and Africa’s agony

 

 

   The people who consume products from the murdered elephants need to be shamed and ridiculed, they need to be held immediately accountable before the elephants become extinct. If we are not found to be poking fun, embarrassing them and using our freedoms of speech to show our utmost contempt for the nuevo rich Chinese using African animal products for vanity and superstition what should  these  freedoms be for ?    If a particular country, region or town significantly consumes, processes or trades in these murdered animal products, whether for health, wealth or happiness, we have  to sanction them with all  artistic rhetoric at our means and as often as possible. Our politicians will only act on our behalf if we are unified in creating a stink about Ivory and Africa’s agony. otherwise…

We will all have to answer to the very distrusting eyes of the next generation when they ask; ”What happened to all the free elephants ?”  

 

 Miami Art reviews calls on South Florida Artists to consider this challenge and work together to raise a stink about Blood Ivory and all it’s relative sins.

Stonehenge by Brian Curtis

Stonehenge 2013 By Brian Curtis UM Art Professor.

Brian Curtis Stonehenge Series I&II
UM Gallery Wynwood. Miami Florida July – Sept. 2013
Miami Art Reviews.

Brian Curtis is the head of under graduate studies in Painting and drawing at University of Miami, Coral Gables. The Stonehenge Series is a departure from his life and figure paintings.
The ancient (6500yrs) megalithic stone circle of England set against a tropical sunset may seem like a remarketing tool of artistic juxtaposition but a few days after meeting the artist ,looking west from Miami Beach’s Green Diamond towards Miami’s downtown skyline. “how much alike the set sun on these new Miami megalithic towers are to Brain’s recent series”. The use of the ancient symbol “Stonehenge” has proved to be very universal this side of the Atlantic. Miami has its own mini circle, dating from a similar time in man’s history, the symbol has always been associated with the psyche,spirit and meeting place.
Brian Curtis’s Stonehenges are keys to personal spaces,each sky appealing to each destiny, the brush work delivers only as much as is required with light’s fluidity and life’s color against stone cold realism. The paintings are accompanied with mythical tales, ancient stories and ancestral traditions of ritual. It would be easy to imagine any of these paintings being a subliminal morning flash or returning welcome in many people’s homes.
Brian has succeeded in fusing two specific joys into one language, he is after all a professor of Fine Art and his use of universal symbols to evoke emotion and mind is in complete tradition of the visual language of symbols that defines Fine Art from art in general.

Saving Miami History

Advocacy For Regional Preservation of Heritage for Economical Stability.

 by Wiliiam Coulthard / Edited by Ana Bikic Miami Art Reviews. 

Carol Cohan’s book Coconut Grove Playhouse back cover Pickering Press 1987
Miami Art Reviews Inc.

 

 A region that relies upon tourism needs an entertainment industry. Historical sites are an integral part of this service orientated economy and the degradation and destruction of cultural interests undermines the formula a region has inherited over the decades and centuries. History is the repeated story that entertains, they are the tourist industry‘s product line and without them a region is no different than any other as a destination. 

 

  Although Miami Dade has beaches,National Parks and a pool side party image, most of our visitors are children and the retired if we include resident’s families,snow birds and annual holiday trippers. Their interests are based on more traditional pursuits that require a more intellectual approach to entertainment. Beaches and night clubs, gambling and sports are good for some but to attract an audience appreciation for the arts requires having a strong local history that is more appealing to opera lovers and art collectors, who in turn buy apartments and return each year. 

  Miami Dade County has an immediate or recent history in comparison to European regions but what interests visitors beyond just the pleasure and joy of visiting is to be entertained, educated and have memorable experiences that can be shared with friends upon returning home. Saving local history plays a vital role when tourists return home, they carry with them the stories behind the places they’ve visited. A region’s history actively stimulates  intelligent and curious minds, between natural pleasures of parks and beaches to complete the experience of an exciting and fulfilling trip to their friends. The ancient Romans understood this economic formula providing not just arena entertainment but also galleries of archival history to accompany libraries and monuments. Their tourist cities provided the very best in spas and sports but the most successful cities like Pompey and Pila had preserved and prepared more ancient sites to excite a more affluent and studied clientele.

  Miami, Miami Beach and the  Miami Dade County, as a whole, must be mindful as it expands to what foot print of the past it wipes away.  If an iconic house sitting in full view is the cover picture of an old story related to the region’s past with  internationally known cultural references; it follows that the home’s destruction would bring strong negative feed back from previous and possible visitors. If a City is seen not to care about it’s heritage then it is seen not to care about it’s visitor’s experience. So why should they return? or talk well to others?   Persuading for a location based on others opinions and published experiences, a reputation by region or location should be seen as a regional and  residential responsibility for everyone wishing to live in a successful area and enjoy  the benefits that come from an active tourist economy.  

      The history, architecture and intellectual property of local myths and stories that enrich the visitors experience of our region are vital to the tourism industry as a whole, without them Miami would be boring and predictable. Our local history adds variety to regional destination and encourages opportunities for creating new local attractions. Preservation is therefore a vital part, not an after thought, it is at the heart of our very image and if we are seen to not care what is torn down, our ineptness to protect our own interests will be ridiculed internationally.  Currently the Coconut  Grove Playhouse and the famous Star Island Mansion are up for destruction.

Now is the time to save them, like Miami did with the Daily News / Freedom Tower 12 years ago. Developers and their investors must realize history has unique and has brand name status and that the stories behind the history are an intellectual property that belongs to all the region’s residents, compromising local stories  compromises future potential. Destroying history actually limits future development.

Saving The Coconut Grove Playhouse.

Saving The Coconut Grove Playhouse.

Richard Heisenbottle’s architectural rendering of a future Coconut Grove Playhouse restored to its 1926.

  On Wednesday 27th February 2013, the Dade Heritage Trust heard Commissioner Xavier Suarez, aide J.C. Garrido and  architect Richard Heisenbottle, the region’s foremost authority on restoration, call for the raising of the Coconut Grove Playhouse to be avoided, offering a plausible solution. To achieve this Governor Rick Scott needs to be inundated with our concern and appreciation for the old Theater and how it’s return as a working stage would stimulate the cultural attraction of the whole Coconut Grove Arts scene and the business district to the strengths of former years. The theater has a rich history and is  well-known as a brand name, it has an iconic image that reflects the Grove’s artistic and expressive heritage which would certainly aid the launching of a new working stage for the region as a whole. Miami now attracts many international events all year-long, any theater with mixed programming appealing to a wider audience and offering facility to host events would be able to partner strongly with the neighborhood hotels and residents’ tastes. Performance could be added for the Arts Festival, Comedy nights throughout the year, film openings, corporate and inspirational  presentations, conferences, poetry, dance and music recitals, the list of uses a working stage offers to a community is as long as the imagination and creativity  the Theater’s director is given. Now that we know the building itself is restore-able and safe, we need a business plan for a modern working stage. The Grove’s theater was the driving force of it’s identity as a location, returning to this formula is a sound investment. Destroying the Playhouse entirely or just as a facade to another empty arcade would be contrary to our community’s real concerns. Private schools and gated communities in the center of the business district are contrary to civic planning and they do not attract visitors to the shops and hotels. Theaters have served communities as focal points, the stage is the forum for debate and idea, politically theaters are important places for common voice and vibrant expression, from them comes the confidence of community and with out them the silence is joyless. Save the Grove Playhouse, save a piece of history and save a chance for more to be made. Call the Governor and tell him this is important to reopen a working stage for Coconut Grove.

 Counter to the current conditions of finance and political issues to solve legal halts; the rich historical heritage associated with the Playhouse is impressive.

 Historically it showed film, was restored to stage by famed architect Browning Parker and hosted Black, Jewish and Hispanic artists, from Billie Holiday to the Wizard of Oz.

 The stage hosted the premiers of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, the musical Fame and many other Broadway hits, providing quality national performances. The Playhouse was a premier stage for Off Broadway and International new plays and shows. In 1982, with  the  Artistic Director actor-director José Ferrer brought regional programs for actors and Arnold Mittleman continued as AD,  expanding to touring companies.

The Coconut Grove Playhouse was commissioned in 1926 by the Peacock Family, the symbol of the Grove still today, the architect, Kiehnel, is Miami’s very best. The land was given from the Munroe family.

The front facade has Rococo  neo spanish features, commanding the southern entrance to the Coconut Grove business district, it has it’s own parking, office space and room for two small stages.

Between 1964 and 1965, The Coconut Grove Playhouse was used by The Miami Actors Company.

Among many important artists,  most renowned performers, including Maureen Stapleton, Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, Eve Arden, Tallulah Bankhead, Carol Channing, Liza Minnelli, Linda Lavin, Bea Arthur, George C. Scott, Colleen Dewhurst, and Ethel Merman,  Neil Simon’s The Sunshine Boys, starring Jack Klugman and Tony Randall, and Urban Cowboy,  Sherry Glaser’s, Family Secrets, Death of a Salesman, starring Hal Holbrook and Elizabeth Franz, actor-director José Ferrer.

In a 2011 Miami Condition report by Ellen Ugiocinni states a $15 million plus matching $5 million had be reserved.

The restoration if done in private hands would match this figure, according to the Architect but double that figure if the City gets involved with the renovation process.
