Join us for an evening celebrating Latin dance music! We’ll explore traditional Latin rhythms with live Mexican cumbia band Raffa de Alaska y Sus Compas, surburban Portland’s best-kept secret, who had the whole house moving at our Dia de Los Muertos celebration back in November.
Then we’ll move into more electronic offshoots of the Cumbia phenomenon, the digital cumbia/electro cumbia of Argentina and Colombia. Expect a sweaty tropical fiasco on the dancefloor!






















Yes!! I’d love to win! I love latin music and dance and am long overdue for a night out to enjoy it! :)
My roommates are going to this…the same roommates whose nerves I fray with my recycling and energy consumption deficiencies. If I win, I will take them and this will buy me a month of goodwill as they realize that while I have flaws, I am nevertheless awesome.
Love dancing to cumbias!
My housemate and I want to go dancing together before she moves away from Portland!
Love watching people dance cumbias!
This sounds so awesome, we just freshened up our Cumbia steps last month and need some more practice! Hope we can go~
Dance, dance, dance!
It’s been about a year since my last outing time to bring on the cumbias
