  • The 28th Annual Afro Roots Fest In Islamorada - A Day Of Live Music Featuring Cortadito, Everglades Songbook Suite, Sanba Zao, And Famato | sun-times

    The 28th Annual Afro Roots Fest In Islamorada - A Day Of Live Music Featuring Cortadito, Everglades Songbook Suite, Sanba Zao, And Famato South Florida Sun Times Feb 25, 2026 The NonProfit Organization Community Arts And Culture (CAC) Has By Now Become Synonymous With Curating And Producing The Longest-Running World Music Event Afro Roots Fest. On Saturday, April 4th, 2026, The Award-Winning Festival Returns To The Morada Way Arts And Cultural District And The Florida Keys Brewing Company, Located At 81611 Old Highway, Islamorada, Florida 33036, Beginning At 12:00 p.m. Noon With A Series Of Workshops, And Featuring Cortadito (Cuba), The Everglades Songbook Suite (U.S.), Sanba Zao (Haiti), Famato (Guinea, West Africa), Percussion And Instrument-Making Workshops, Vendors, And More. The Event Is A Free Event, With A Few Ticketed Workshops, And All Ages Welcome. "The flavor of this year's festival is decidedly Caribbean, with a dash of West Africa, and I am proud to once again present these acts to the global music fans of South Florida," says Grammy-nominated musician, composer, and producer Jose Elias. "It's my pleasure to continue to bring world music programming to the Florida Keys, and I am looking forward to this year’s event." Elias is known for his work with Cortadito and will perform with his other project, the Everglades Songbook Suite ensemble. Since its origins thirteen years ago, Cortadito has evolved into one of the torchbearers of a pop culture phenomenon that is two centuries strong. A traditional folk and acoustic band named the Miami New Times' Best of Miami "Best Latin Act" in 2009, the band focuses on performing one of the earliest styles of Cuban country music known as Son (pronounced sOwn), their sound can best be described as reminiscent of the famed Buena Vista Social Club. Last year, Cortadito released a full-length album titled The Guajiro Triangle which features guest performances by Nestor Torres and Aymee Nuviola, including a fourth single and video titled "Lo Que te Cuento es Poco." The vastly resplendent Everglades has inspired countless works of literature and art, including the musical project "Everglades Songbook Suite," which was created by Elias. A 2016 Artist in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE) fellow, Jose wrote music for ESS after spending considerable time at Everglades National Park. The project, which stands as the creative and artistic statement of his experiences, first came to fruition on June 21, 2021 as a short film shot in the Everglades, co-produced with Live Arts Miami and AIRIE. In 2022, the project received the support of the Kennedy Center to produce a pop up concert event at the Long Pine Key Amphitheater inside the park, then later in Key West at the Studios of Key West. The performance included artists from around the world and served as a collaborative effort which featured different composers as well. Born Louis Lesly Marcelin, Sanba Zao is a master drummer and Haitian roots music legend. He was also a professor at L'Ecole National des Arts, Haiti’s national arts school, and has devoted his life to teaching and promoting the culture and music of Haiti. Marcelin ran an elementary school called the Bazilo Ecole Communautairei, which was one of the first to reopen after the 2010 earthquake that devastated his home country. Sanba Zao has also sings and tours with Lakou Mizik and performed with other Haitian groups such as Group Sa, Foula Jazz, and Djakata. Famato is a West African musical ensemble based in Gainesville, Florida that plays traditional music from Guinea, particularly from the Mandinka tribe. The group's name is a Sanso word that means "come and see," and is led by Aboubacar "Amo" Soumah, a master drummer from Guinea, West Africa. They play instruments such as the Djembe drum and the balafon combined with vocals. Anchoring the MoradaWay Arts & Cultural District, FBKC is the Upper Keys first microbrewery. They always have a great selection of favorite beers, as well as a rotating list of seasonal and barrel aged beers, on draft. There is plenty for everyone to enjoy here. Take a tour of the brewery, enjoy a flight of beers, check out the local artwork, play games, or just relax and listen to some world music. Located at Mile Marker 88, the Tasting Room is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., 11:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

  • Medicare Fraud: Beware of Scammers Offering Older Americans In-Home Perks

    Medicare Fraud: Beware of Scammers Offering Older Americans In-Home Perks By Family Features September 19, 2024 Share Every day, criminals target older Americans with one goal - to steal their Medicare numbers and other protected health information. To fraudsters, this information is just as valuable as credit card information. These criminals steal Medicare numbers and unlawfully bill Medicare for medical services that were never provided to the patient or overbill for provided services. When criminals commit fraud, and falsely bill Medicare, people's medical records may become inaccurate and they can suffer delayed or even be denied care. In the end, Medicare fraud costs taxpayers billions of dollars every year. Each dollar lost to fraud takes away resources intended for people with Medicare. Protect Yourself Fraudsters are getting creative and new scams are continually emerging. The best thing you can do is beware of people who contact you for your Medicare number or other personal information. You may be contacted by phone, text or email by someone posing as a Medicare representative, a health care provider or even a medical equipment company. If someone you don't know asks for your Medicare number, hang up or delete the message - this is a scam. Consider these tips to help protect yourself against Medicare fraud and stay one step ahead of fraudsters: • Guard your Medicare card & information just like your Social Security card and credit card. • Only share your Medicare information with your trusted health care providers. • Be skeptical of free gifts, free medical services, discount packages or any offer that sounds too good to be true. • Always check your Medicare claims statements to make sure they are accurate. Call 1-800-MEDICARE if you suspect you or Medicare has been billed for a service you did not receive. Watch Out for Medicare Hospice Fraud Beware of scammers offering older Americans in-home perks, like free cooking, cleaning and home health services, while they are unknowingly being signed up for hospice services. The scammers then unlawfully bill Medicare for these services in your name. Criminals are using every avenue they can to sign you up including door-to-door visits, false advertising, phone, text and email. Hospice care is for people who are terminally ill and only you and your doctor can make this serious decision if you need end-of-life care. Remember this advice to avoid hospice scams: • Your doctor is the only one who can certify you're terminally ill (with a life expectancy of 6 months or less). If you are not terminally ill, you should not receive hospice care. • Never accept perks or gifts in return for signing up for hospice services. • Medicare will never provide "free" services like housekeeping. • Be suspicious if someone offers you free services like housekeeping or cooking in return for your Medicare number. • Medicare will never come to your home. Report Medicare Fraud Reporting Medicare fraud protects you and millions of other people with Medicare and those with disabilities. If you or someone you know has experienced Medicare fraud or suspect an offer you've received is a scam, report it as soon as possible. You will never be in trouble for reporting fraud.

  • A Warning From History: Antisemitic Mayor Mamdani And The Dismantling Of Jewish Protections | sun-times

    A Warning From History: Antisemitic Mayor Mamdani And The Dismantling Of Jewish Protections Jewish Connection News Jan 15, 2026 A Warning From History: Antisemitic Mayor Mamdani And The Dismantling Of Jewish Protections January 5, 2026 - Dear Friends,I am writing out of serious concern regarding actions taken by Mayor Zohran Mamdani on his first day in office and what they signal for New York City’s Jewish community in particular and the world in general. As a Holocaust historian, I have spent decades studying how antisemitism takes hold—not only through violence, but through policy decisions, legal reversals, and the systematic removal of protections for Jews. History teaches us that danger rarely begins with overt brutality. It begins when leaders normalize hostility and dismantle safeguards, often under ideological pretexts. On his very first day as mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population in the world, Mayor Mamdani took the following actions: • Revoked New York City’s use of the IHRA definition of antisemitism, eliminating the city’s primary tool for identifying modern antisemitism, including when it targets Jews under the guise of “anti-Zionism.” • Eliminated the city’s anti-BDS executive order, signaling that economic warfare against the world’s only Jewish state is now acceptable city policy. Israel, again, is the only functioning democracy in the Middle East, one that embraces religious freedom, gay rights and women’s rights. No Muslim run state embraces these freedoms. Moreover, Israel is an ally of the United States. • Rolled back NYPD guidance limiting protests outside synagogues, protections implemented after Jewish institutions were directly targeted. • Dissolved NYC–Israel economic cooperation initiatives, severing formal ties between the city and Israeli-American businesses and communities. As journalist Amy Albertson noted, when a mayor’s first executive actions dismantle measures specifically designed to protect the Jewish population, it is reasonable to draw conclusions about intent or, at the very least, indifference. History shows that such indifference is never benign. These are not symbolic gestures. They are concrete policy decisions that weaken Jewish protections, legitimize antisemitic activism, and isolate Jewish communities socially and economically. This is how antisemitism is laundered into respectability—through bureaucratic language, ideological framing, and the erosion of safeguards. Europe has seen this pattern before. Jews have seen this pattern before. And history teaches us that when Jewish protections are the first to go, Jews are never the last to suffer. I urge those receiving this message to take these developments seriously, to speak out, and to demand accountability. Silence has never protected Jewish communities. Awareness and action sometimes do. We see Mamdani, a practicing Muslim, once again taking political actions that raise serious concerns about tolerance and respect for minority rights, which the vast majority of Muslims worldwide do not embrace—in other words, his antisemitic and intolerant actions should not be a surprise because he was raised to have them. His recent moves restricting protections for Jewish communities echo a disturbing historical pattern illustrated dramatically by Adolf Hitler: the Führer began by undermining civil rights of Jews, and then years later, he ended it by killing them in Auschwitz. While Mamdani is not committing violence, the effect of eroding legal protections that can and will lead to violent behavior is reminiscent of the early steps Hitler took upon assuming power—first stripping Jews of their rights, and only later escalating to mass violence. Hitler, like Mamdani, styled himself a socialist and revoked Jewish rights; the lesson is clear: Limiting the rights of any community sets a dangerous precedent. Mamdani would have been far wiser to avoid this path. Time and again, he—and countless other Islamic leaders across the globe—demonstrate that most Muslims are not our allies or friends, particularly toward Jews. It reminds me of two catchphrases that contain a lot of truth: 1) Maybe not all terrorists are Muslims, but the vast majority of terrorists are Muslims. 2) There are two types of Muslims in the world—there is the radical Muslim who wants to cut off your infidel head, and then there is the moderate Muslim who wants the radical Muslim to cut off your head. Mamdani’s actions will make it easier for radical Muslims and antisemites to target and persecute Jews in New York, which could ultimately lead to violence and oppression—an outcome he appears to be enabling through the steps he has taken. He is an antisemite and an immoral and dangerous man.
