Launch Party for English Magazine, The Arepa. Issue #5

The new issue of The Arepa is out and we're having the launch party on Thursday night at el Deck on Calle 10 from 8pm to 12. (See the magazine: http://www.thearepa.com/?p=806)

The magazine is in all color and it has changed from being about tourism 101 to being more about the music, arts, culture, and events in the city. Upon seeing the new Afro-Colombian themed issue a friend of mine, a Paisa, made this comment:

I read some articles and i can say that finally there is a down to earth cool magazine about the city. I guess local people´s effort to talk about nightlife (but just a little segment of it) has only been done properly on
lapiscinavacia.I really digged the openness of the articles and the neutral view. The city narrated in a proper style. Thanks again.

So stop by on Thursday at el Deck to get a copy as they always run later in the month.

The Arepa Issue #5 Launch Party
November 5 (8pm – 12pm)

Some good articles. Travellers should check out "The mother of all road trips (with a little bit of Colombia)"

Just 2,000 pesos?

?A lo bien.

It states tonight is "Music from Brazil", at the Cultural Centre Moravia including frevo! Frevo is music from Pernambuco, particularly my favourite city in the World - Recife!!!

I am already a wizz at dancing frevo (thank you!) but some of you will need lessons - here is a video to help your sorry asses (unless you dance salsa de cali and then I bow to you!) Your welcome!
