Good music, dancing, drinks, and much more

El Patio Grand Opening
The opening of El Patio Wynwood

The spectacular city of Miami has exceptional places where visitors from anywhere in the world can go and have fun without major difficulties, especially if they come from any Latin American country. Not by chance, this is one of the cities with the highest number of Latinos in the United States. Of course, entertainment venues were going to take this major detail into account when creating the schedule of activities that they have to offer to their clients.   

That is where the incredible El Patio Wynwood comes in, whose main attraction is good music and dancing, although the place is suitable for people of all ages and tastes. This disco and restaurant has areas, drinks and other things for all tastes. Besides, you can enjoy a wonderful visual display, which will leave the lucky ones who attend this venue in awe. 

One of the biggest attractions of the venue is the lively music that can be enjoyed in its facilities, both played by guest artists or recorded by the staff of the place to be played depending on the day, the time and the situation. Just as is the case with many bars and nightclubs of this style, hosts always try to provide the most lively atmosphere for attendees through theme nights and other types of events such as happy hours, whose protagonists are usually talented DJs who deploy their full repertoire to the delight of party people from that night.

Theme nights and DJs

In addition to the most entertaining theme nights taking place here, we cannot fail to mention Las Fabulosas consisting of shows performed by all-female artists, who show why they have so much respect in the sphere of DJs. Among some of the talented women who have come to perform at El Patio Wynwood include Laura Castro, DJ Polen, Marcela Reyes, Negra Fabulosa and many more. Additional to that, the club also offers the Latino Gang which consists of a sort of battle between salsa and Reggaeton to know which one conquers more people from that night. 

In addition to all this, music can be accompanied by the best cocktails in Miami, among which we can highlight La Flor De La Isla, Risa Salvaje, El Patio Mule, The Gentleman, Spring Gin, Bloody Bunny, Miss Chelada, Killer Bee, among others. As for the menu, diners can try dishes like chicken wings, pork rind skewers, garlic sausages to the grill, cheese boards, among other delights that visitors cannot miss. 

If El Patio Wynwood is known for something that must be its highly innovative concept. The bar area has been designed in a way so that its clientele can enjoy a spectacular blend of art, cocktails and artisan beers and the wide range of hits to accompany the above. 

All the above has resulted in excellent online reviews that show how pleased customers are with the work done by the staff of this bar and restaurant, which is definitely a compulsory meeting point for anyone who decides to visit the city of Miami, either from the United States or from any other country.

The role of La Cita Bar in the Californian nightlife

Let’s go to La Cita!

La Cita Bar is one of those places whose atmosphere does not leave anyone indifferent does not pass under the table in the California nightlife, which already has many choices of all kinds for anyone who wants to spend an unforgettable evening in good company. However, La Cita Bar has a special charm that any visitor to Los Angeles should try just once during his trip.   

When reviewing pictures of areas inside the bar, it is simple to see that it is a very colorful and spacious place with all kinds of lights, but it is always small for the sheer number of people who constantly visit it to see if what they have been told about this nightclub is true or if this is just gossip. It is just that the bar’s reputation speaks for itself and how! If what is sought is the best energy from the hand of good music and excellent drinks, without any doubt, this is the best choice. 

This is La Cita Bar

When we review, in detail, the schedule of which this place is composed, we almost immediately realize that the owners and publicists are extremely disciplined with the weekly planning that they will offer to future clients every night. Depending on the day of the week, those interested can attend according to the activities that most appeal to them and might sound fun. 

Schedule and themed nights

Every day, the interior of the premises operates from 10 am to 9 pm. Monday through Friday, the terrace is open from 4 pm to 9 pm. On Fridays, the venue offers the Angry Hour, which is entirely dedicated to hardcore punk rock and bands playing this peculiar genre. On Saturdays, there is an afternoon delight, which is animated by musicians Calixto and Jimmy James. 

Of course, there may be days when there are cumbia, salsa, merengue and bolero themed nights accompanied by the talent of invited artists, who will be in charge of adding music to the atmosphere. Considering that there is not s specific day for these themed nights, La Cita Bar’s social networks will be the ones to announce events planned in the future and the artists involved, mainly its official Facebook.

When we look though the wide catalogue of artists who have endowed this bar with their appreciated presence, we can note that its team truly takes pains to get the best and to offer it to its distinguished clientele. Among those, we can mention Spaguetti Cumbia, Reyna Tropical, DJ Ricky Guapo, DJ Pump Police, DJ Paw and many others.   

With respect to the opinions issued by many of the customers through certain platforms, the best features of the place are its energy and music, but they are not the only thing drawing in the crowd that always comes here. The cheapness of most of the drinks offered is also a very strong point in favor of the club, as this gives anyone the option of having a good time between drinks regardless of their economic situation. 

Even some who no longer frequent the place due to the remoteness or moving to another city remember with nostalgia the fun they had there and the excellent attention offered by the La Cita Bar team.

Good music and fine dining at Café Salsera

Feel at home at Café Salsera

North America is packed full of places where Latinos can feel at home and native people can learn more about a culture that is apparently distinct from theirs. One of these places is the wonderful Café Salsera, which has much to offer every one of its visitors. 

We are talking about a spectacular place that has a very peculiar characteristic. It turns out that, at any time of the day, it serves as a restaurant and café, while at night it becomes a fabulous nightclub where you can enjoy the best hits of today. The menu is entirely based on Mexican food and the main objective of this place is to offer the best Latin flavor to all those who want to taste it. 

While it is true that the menu is based on Mexican dishes, the ambiance of the restaurant has a Spanish colonial style which contrasts starkly with what is offered to diners. Among the main dishes to be served at Café Salsera, we can mention tacos, nachos, empanadas, pasties, chicharrones, street-style elotes, among many others. On top of this, there are also incredible cocktails, including the mangonadas, caipirinhas, margaritas, mojitos, and much more. 

Recipes made by the kitchen staff are always varied and very original. The menu always surprises regular visitors no matter the amount of times they have attended the place.

Fine dining and good music

When the night comes, you can enjoy an alfresco dining with live music, but this does not have to end this way. On Fridays, the place has the powerful presence of DJ Turo, who is in charge of livening up the atmosphere with the latest salsa, bachata, merengue and other rhythms. On Saturdays, attendees will be lucky enough to dance to the rhythm of Erick Jaimez, who will play the latest music and some not-so-recent hits for the nostalgic. On Tuesdays, salsa lessons are planned to be given by a group of instructors who are highly trained to reach this genre. 

According to the opinions issued through social media, those who have had the opportunity to go to Café Salsera assure that it is a fantastic place to visit at all times, since it has the particularity of being a restaurant, cafe and nightclub on the same day. They also assure that the treatment by the staff is the best and warmest to make customers feel at home. 

Considering open hours, on Mondays, they are open from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, it is open from 5 pm to 2 a.m. Attendees can go for dinner, dancing or both without any problems.

There is also the possibility of renting one or more VIP rooms in which an approximate of 10 people can spend a good time in glad company and the best Latin music in the background. Of course, the cost will depend on whether visitors wish to dine or simply have a nice time between drinks.   

If attendees want a table for only 4 or 5 people, they can book a VIP table, which will include a bottle for all members of the group. On Saturdays, the cost of booking a table will be $155. In case you want to book a VIP section for 10 people, you must cancel an amount of $ 285.   

Without a doubt, a fabulous place to eat, drink, dance, and listen to good music after all these months of confinement due to the pandemic.

Great career of New Yorker Arlene Gonzalez

How her career got started

The family is the fundamental pillar for every human being and decisive for the path of any individual will take in life. A great example of this is Arlene Gonzalez, whose home training has played a key role in the beginning and continuation of her career as a bilingual musician and composer. This New Yorker of Puerto Rican and Ecuadorian ancestry began making a name for herself once she left her homeland and moved to the south of Florida in search of new professional and personal opportunities. 

After moving to her new home, she started a brilliant musical career from the hand of performances and tours in which she always showed the innate talent which has accompanied her in each of her shows. One of her most important collaborations was done with the famous producer and Grammy winner Jon FX. 

One of the reasons why Arlene is best known in the music industry is her great talent as a composer, so she does not need the support or collaboration with anyone else at the time of writing all her works. This is what gave her the push he needed to create her own label Platinum G. Records, so she has not required the support of a record label which in the long run would only limit her as an artist and as a person. 

Achievements and current affairs

Johnny Cruz and Arlene González

This talented American of Latino descent has worked with a large amount of television networks with respect to promotion and presentation of shows that help the emergence of up-and-coming artists in many cities across the country. Likewise, his music is increasingly present in important radio stations as in the case of Wepa FM in Florida or 94.5 FM in New York. 

She has managed to tour in many countries throughout Latin America thanks to his efforts to achieve a prestigious place in the industry. His salsa song Vete became very successful in nightclubs throughout several cities in Panama and a large part of North America, where his music was welcomed with open arms. 

For this year, she will be throwing a tour of Jamaica on a cruise ship in which she will sing her entire repertoire and delight the present ones with hits like Boy toy, Quiero bailar, Illusion, Boriqua somos, and so on. It will be a great opportunity for the artist to improve its visibility with those who have not been able to enjoy her great talent every time she performs any of her incredible songs. 

At this point, she is writing new songs for her latest album, whose predominant genre will be salsa and main single will be the song Tendrán que respetar, which has been a creation of the talented composer José Luis Pagan, who has trusted in the talent of González to try rhythming and become a real piece of work. In addition, the single already has its own videoclip and arrangements made by the famous maestro Oscar Hernandez.   

In contrast to her career as a singer, the New Yorker is about to launch a line of lipstick, demonstrating that she is quite a very skilled entrepreneur in the cosmetics industry. 

This promising figure of music has given a lot to talk about from the beginning, and no mistake, that will continue to do so as long as she enjoyed sucess and delighted everyone with good music as usual.
