Once in a while you feel you should have been born in another place, in another time. You wish you had a time machine. Don’t worry anymore: this is the place to go on satruday night if you feel some nostalgia about something vague, something weird, something you don’t know how to define it. Welcome to P Barquinho.

From the outside, the place looks pretty grim but don’t turn back. Open the door and climb the stairs to the first floor, open your eyes and your ears. What you will see is priceless, something that doesn’t exist anymore, it was 40 years ago in Spain with the same singers, the same dancers and the same people. 40 years later, they are still there. And while you see all these old people singing fandanguillos and coplas from another time you feel kind of emotional and kind of weird. Time stops and for a moment you are the one feeling out of your time like an anachronism.Totally out of the blue.

Located in the Raval, Jazz Sí is the place to go if you want to listen to live good music. Moreover they offer very different kind of concerts.

Monday: jazz concert

Tuesday: Pop/rock/blues/funk jam session

Wednesday: jazz concert

Thursday: Latin concert

Friday: Flamenco concert

Saturday: jazz, latin jazz jam session

Sunday: pop/rock/blues/ funk jam session

The place used to be kind of crowded so I would advice you to arrive in advance. All the concerts I have been there are really great and before the concert starts, you can have a beer at the bar situated just at the entrance of the place.

The atmosphere is dynamic, overwhelming and enthusiastic. A great place to spend a great night.

There are things that don’t depend on the eyes of the beholder. Red is red no matter who might claim it’s otherwise.

Even though music might be a little relative to one’s taste, at some point pride and prejudice should allow us to admit when good music is good, even if it’s techno, house or electro.

The best part is the minimal mood with which the dj starts heating engines when the hall is half empty around 01:00… better if not Friday or Saturday.

Most Wednesdays they have an international dj.

In order to get in for free just go to bar Manolo on the corner to get the flyers and have a cheap beer, but be aware that the flyers are only valid until 01:30.

A playful atmosphere filled by Salsa, merengue, son, relish and good vibes, and friendly people.

It would be impossible to leave Shango without a new friend. Even when there is a language barrier, everyone understands the musical language.

For those with two left foots and a clumsy understanding between them and the waist, there are salsa lessons on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 23:00 to 00:00.

And if you’re in need of help to defeat shyness, they have a happy hour everyday just before: from 21:00 to 23:00!

Actually this is more a club than a cafe.

A pleasure dome filled with cheerful black music that combines elements of house, disco, funk, soul, hip-hop and rare grooves.

It has the perfect atmosphere to reach the state of being completely carried away by unreasoned passion and unrealistic expectations of blissful rapture without positive relationship growth or development between an obsessor and an object of desire with a playful behavior intended to arouse the courtship dance.

As if there were not enough doomsday parties during the week, now Marula has just come up with their “My black is beautiful”, with soulful music and FREE entrance every Sunday!
