cumbia pa' bailar!

A few weeks ago, we heard a rumor that La Gran Calabaza was going to be performing at a bar in Antigua. They are a local band who have since become a huge Guatemalan hit! Since we usually have their CD on repeat in our house, there was no way we were passing this opportunity up. The rumor was confirmed, and we were excited. Last night was the big night. A few of us showed up early to discover that the cover charge wasn't in effect yet. Aka we didn't have to pay a single quetzal to be front row all night long!
Now if you know me, you know how I love to cut up a rug. Well, these guys play the perfect music to get the whole audience movin'! It was a memorable night full of Spanish lyrics, silly dance moves, and sore feet. I'd definitely consider last night to be one of my favorite Guatemalan nights thus far.
