Native Americans, African Americans, Cubans; Caribbeans, South Americans and countless others. This is a cause for celebra- tton, a salad bowl blended with cultures from across the globe. What better way. to learn about different peoples than to live, work and play among them? Unfortunately, however, that is often not the case. Fear.of the foreign tends to keep like with like, resulting in seemingly disparate communities living in self- imposed seclusion, robbed of the opportunity to share in the cultural riches of those living in the next town. Music Fest Miami endeavors to change all of that by shining a spotligtii on our isimilarities, not our differences. In so doing, the people of'Miani,(anc0 the::-, world at large) will see that despite what continent we are from or h6w'wd'prel.' pare our particular rice dishes, there is unity and Bower in our common passions., _ This is a country of immigrants. Upon settlinghere, the "Pilgrims learned, valuable survival lessons from their new neighbors, the Native American Indians,. Had there been more tolerance of the unknown back then, we would be aivitg ima different society today. And that's really what Music Fest Miami is -,-, ";'•all about accepting that this community is made up of diverse cultures, recogniz ang 7tat our differences are in fact not that profound and tolerating each other ; $eporclmgly. ;When you think about it, our needs haven't changed over the last 225 years.. We%Wll require a roof over our heads, food on our tables, clothes on our backs - and hope for the future. While modern technological advances have made our lives easier in the new century, we still have more, reason to learn from each other than we do to fear one another. The first step toward removing the fear is education. Once we as people.have_ anunderstanding of ethnic groups different from our own, communication can begin in effort to form a more unified community. Unification leads to a stronger political and financial voice. That influence in turn leads to change. We are then poised to implement policies that serve to make Miami Dade County a better place for all to live and work. Since music speaks to every culture, it is the medium through which Music Festsvlianxi will deliver its message. This lesson requires no books, no home• work and no exams.

Diaspora Arts Coalition. Inc. 02- 128 Message from Miami -Dade County Mayor, Alex Penelas A, we strive to bring together the various ethnic and national groups in Miami -Dade County, we must use every means of communications available to us and music can be the universal language. Music crosses all ethnic and cultural boundaries and brings a message of love and understanding. Once the music stops, we are faced with the challenge of talking with each other. Not to each other. For that reason, inter -cultural dialogue has been a long- time priority of my administration. € Only by celebrating the diversity of our community, can we hope to foster greater sense of community acceptance among our diverse residents. Each day we work to build bridges toward increased inter -ethnic communica- tion; economic revitalization programs for disadvantaged neighborhoods; immi- Alex Penelas gration fairness; and increased job oppor- tunities. First we sing together, then we talk together. This Labor Day weekend event will demonstrate that there is — among all people — a common appreciation for music and all things of beauty. Once again — we are more the same, than we are different. Message from Miami -Dade County Commissioner Dr. Barbara Carey-Shuler In my view, Music Fest Miami will be the event that brings together the business, civic and community leaders to cel- ebrate the great cultural diversity of Miatni-Dade County. The eyes of the country and the world are always upon us. We are always in the news. We need to show all who are watching that Miami can be a model of understanding among the diverse groups that are here and more importantly that we are able to take advantage of the great economic capital our diversity represents. Music is a universal language that all of us can appreciate and understand. Through music we can come together and, celebrate our diversity. That is why I have created the message, "No matter what color your skin, No matter where you're from, No matter what language you speak, Let's celebrate our diversity, Miami -Dade!" That is our strength and beauty in this town. While great music can be achieved through a combination of diverse instru- Dr. Barbara ments, let us view our relationships with Carey-Shuler each other in terms of making great music. The relationships that we make will produce great peo- ple —people who will enjoy the wonderful beauties of Miami because of the understanding and positive examples of what our diversity will produce. With that beginning, we can impact future generations by setting an example of what cultural diversity can produce.
