Promoter Sues Miami Over Bill For Cuban Band's Concert
update: The promoter of a 1999 Miami concert by the popular Cuban dance band Los Van Van has filed a civil rights suit alleging that the city and Miami-Dade County officials infringed on her free speech by billing her for extra security at the show. The band's October appearance at Miami Arena sparked a heated battle between a large faction of anti-Castro protestors in the city and those who supported the band's freedom of expression. / Read moreCuban Musicians Cancel Miami Show
