“The University Singers will bring their signature blend of inspirational music, Caribbean classics, gospel favorites, folk traditions and contemporary selections to the stage of the Miramar Cultural Center,” the center’s promotional video said.

Founded in 1958, the University Singers perform choral theater that often incorporates dance and costuming. Their repertoire ranges from traditional hymns—such as gospel standards—to high-energy curtain calls that draw from contemporary Caribbean sounds, including dancehall.
