Some dismiss José el Rey as a novelty. Others claim he's Cuban Miami's modern music messiah. Whatever your take on his silly-sexy crooning, handlebar mustache, and thick gold chain, there's no denying that el Rey's been making some major waves. Between a Perez Hilton shoutout, coverage in Maxim en Español, and a buzzed-about live show at Poplife, he's lodged himself into the Miami zeitgeist in a way that more "serious" acts haven't. Tonight, el Rey and his crew (including street artist Aholsniffsglue) throw a quinceañera party that promises everything but the 15-year-olds. They've wrangled some of the city's best DJs, as well, including Plot, Ray Milian, Induce, and Alex Caso.
