The Mix-Tape.

On Tuesday night, I went out with a big group of people. Not because I have become some huge partier that goes out on Tuesdays, but because we had Wednesday off because of the ascension of the Virgin Mary... I think... or some Catholic holiday of the like.

We started off the night in Pancho's apartment, right where by I live, with only four people. Four soon grew to 13 before we headed out to Vina. We went to a club called "Alcanzaba," in the neighborhood of the Casino and the big McDonalds in Vina - the tourist center of Vina. I thought this could only mean that it would be lame, crowded with foreigners, and expensive.

It ended up being free to get in (a big plus) and not too touristy (since it isn't really the tourist season right now).

The most bizarre part of the experience must have been the music. When we arrived, it was electronic, typical club music - which I expected to continue the whole night. And then, all of a sudden, it was Reggaeton, which then seemed more appropriate for a club in Latin America. But the bizarre cycle continued. Reggaeton, Latin, Rap, Brit Pop, Techno, 60's swing music, Pop and other genres would rotate at about 4-5 song intervals throughout the night. I never thought I'd dance salsa and do the twist in one night at the same club.

But is this the style of this club or all dance locations in general? The verdict is still out, but I will definitely let everyone know if this mix tape gets played in other clubs as well.
