Tickets: $25

“an innovative musical force that is ready to take the world by storm.” –Black Violin

Born in South Florida to a Jamaican father and Barbadian mother, brothers Malcom and Umoja learned to play violin through South Florida’s public school system, and attended Dillard High School for the Performing Arts. Together, these brothers are Sons of Mystro. They use their violins to interpret reggae classics, American pop songs and their own creations. Since being formed as a group, in June of 2010, Sons of Mystro are a little bit classical, a little bit R&B, and like nothing you've heard before!
