Love Miami nightlife.

Poor girl from New York.

The last time I was in Miami I was surprised there was so much of that god awful house/electronic music. Had fun at a couple of cool latin clubs though which reminded me of being in Rio.
Miami is actually pretty good in the jazz department, imo, with several Afro-Cuban and Brasilian ensembles. Quite melodic. You'd probably have to say that Miami is the place for Latin jazz in the US. And salsa is obviously Miami's strong suit.

You also get good calypso acts in Miami, which I actually prefer to the bastardized version of calypso we call soca. They are great fun.

"I stab her in the face with my injection!" LOL. Funny stuff for the 1950s, huh?

More good stuff. I always remembered hearing radio DJ's say "welcome to the Soca zone" or some stuff like that. I never knew Soca was the bastard child of Calypso. I never really put 2 and 2 together. A Bajan like you would know this stuff.

Miami no contest! It's more condensed, so it's easier to get to different clubs! And it's world-famous for its nightlife. It's like the Caribbean's own Las Vegas! LA has good nightlife too, but you waste your time driving from place to place, it closes "early", and it's not even well-known for its nightlife.
