Andreas B Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Just asked a friend living there for ya, will let you know if he has any good suggestions. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Andreas B Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Here's the link for Bogota Soul Club, run by Sergio Iglesias, who turned out some amazing parties in my former home of San Francisco. Probably a good starting point, though I know he's more of an early soul/R&B kind of DJ. https://www.facebook.com/bogotatienesoul?fref=ts Edited May 28, 2013 by AndreasB 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I love club soul/mod/R&B - so should be right up my alley! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Back Street Blue Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Would imagine the Invitations and "Bird" are pretty big there? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dave Rimmer Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think this whole thread is amazing..... of all the places you wouldn't have expected there to be a Soul scene, Bogota in Columbia is fairly high up the list. But a simple query here on SS gets a response an hour and ten minutes later giving details of the Bogota Soul Club. Brilliant !! 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Andreas B Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) So true Dave! I'm really happy to contribute, for some reason I had a feeling my friend there in Colombia would know of something, and sure enough came through! I had no idea Sergio was living there now, either.

Ljblanken Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 ....sorry to say that red-tape bureaucracy stepped in. i work for the US Govt, and the embassy has sections of the city "red zoned" for official US personnel. we can only travel by armored SUV and the driver has instructions on where he can and cannot take us....and that location was not permitted for security reasons. i am sure it is a totally safe club (and I am sure the soulies were not dangerous!), but security is a big issue for our embassy. if it was 10 blocks further north - no problem. thanks for your help and time, andreas --- sometimes it just sucks working for "the man"!

Andreas B Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Too bad my man! Maybe contact Sergio through the club's page and see if he's playing anywhere else, or has some other suggestions? Sounds like a very interesting line of work you've got there. No worries on the info give, happy to help out a fellow soulie Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
