Noche Romantica

Filling a gap in the area’s limited Latin music scene, Noche Romantica started in the summer of 2012 in San Francisco’s Mission District. The all-vinyl event played a mix of Chicano oldies, boleros, cumbias, rancheras, and norteños at Rock Bar. Two years later, they moved the party to Los Angeles and landed a residency at Melody Lounge in Chinatown. The music sparks a nostalgia that speaks to the Chicano cultural experience, and the party provides a space for everyone to celebrate and have a good time. The ambiance is eclectic and embodies an atmosphere of acceptance and love.
