I will be in Bogota for work over the next ten days....anyone know of soul nights or record stores?

 

 

Just asked a friend living there for ya, will let you know if he has any good suggestions.

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.

Awesome! Thank you! I love club soul/mod/R&B - so should be right up my alley!

Would imagine the Invitations and "Bird" are pretty big there?

arrived last night - bogota is beautiful!

 

will hit andreas' suggested spot tomorrow night. can't wait!

Let me/us know how it goes, mate! Enjoy

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 !!

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.

....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"! 

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

am currently sitting in a little hotel in the country listening to choppers fly from the nearby military base - and i can also hear music from the bar downstairs - and mixed in with the salsa they also played "tears of a clown." 

 

you can find soul anywhere!

Nice one mate! Good you'll be able to check out something while you're there.
