The end of October is especially eventful in the Remezcla office because we have not one, but TWO skull-filled, death-themed reasons to celebrate: Halloween and Dia de Muertos. We want you to have a bloody good time, so we’ve rounded up the best monster mashes, concerts, pop-up raves and more to check out this year. (And don’t forget our favorite Halloween activity of all – waking up early the next day to watch the best Walks of Shame you’ll see all year…)
Start the Halloween celebrations early by pregaming at Remezcla and mike’s HARDER®’s Cultura Dura tour. In this edition of ELECTROPICO at Grand Central, we’ve got beats by Mr. Pauer, Bonnie Beats, Dale Dale, Chato, and lots of live percussion to set the mood for the Halloween weekend…More info here.
This year Halloween is finally on a Friday so there are no excuses for a turn down. If you want to get started nice and early with a bunch of good people, Mana Wynwood- in the heart of Wynwood-will be hosting their HalloWyn Block Party starting at 6:00pm in the food truck lot. So, that means food trucks, beers, costumes, and video DJs all night. The block party is free for all, but you can buy early food and bev tickets for all your munchie needs. More info here.
Miami based band Bachaco are taking their fusion of Afro-Caribbean roots out on the road after a bit of a hiatus. Their single ‘Cumbia Pa La Nena’ gained them attention with their take on reggae, dancehall with ska and cumbia added to the mix. They’ve just released a new single, ‘Good Morning,’ and they are ready to make you sweat at Jazid for Jaloqüin. More info here.
