Michael H. Hodges Detroit News Fine Arts Writer Published 12:09 PM EDT Oct 18, 2018 Singer, songwriter and performance artist Migguel Anggelo brings his one-man show, "So Close: Love & Hate," to the Detroit Institute of Arts Friday evening. The writer plays regularly at Joe's Pub at New York's Public Theater, and with "So Close" has compiled a "journey" of 13 songs -- mostly his own, but with American and Latin classics as well. The Detroit News caught up with the 44-year-old after a rehearsal to talk songwriting, what he loves about Detroit, and the chaos that's overtaken Venezuela, the country of his birth: Tell me about "So Close: Love & Hate." Anggelo: "So I wrote all these songs about love and hate, and we put them together in a journey to take audiences on. For me, love and hate are like two sisters – they walk together.
