Bad Bunny by Candlelight: The Prettiest Concert in Coral Gables
Imagine Bad Bunny reworked for string quartet, played live in a historic Coral Gables ballroom glowing with candles. That is exactly what the Candlelight: Tribute to Bad Bunny concert is, and it was one of the most magical nights out I have had in the Gables.
The quick take: Fever's Candlelight series brings the Collins Quartet to the Hotel Colonnade in Coral Gables for a 60-minute acoustic program of Bad Bunny's biggest songs under candlelight. Tickets start around $34, and dates recur through the year.

What the Night Is Like
Candlelight concerts stage live, multi-sensory performances in beautiful venues, and the Hotel Colonnade's elegant Coral Gables setting is a perfect match. The Collins Quartet reworks reggaeton and Latin pop into acoustic string arrangements, pulling from across Bad Bunny's catalog: Moscow Mule, Dakiti, Ojitos Lindos, Me Porto Bonito, Yonaguni, and Titi Me Pregunto all made the program when I went. Hearing a room hum along to strings is genuinely moving, and yes, it is a phenomenal date night.
