Concert halls Mexico

Live music with a group composed of a singer, bass bass and pianist. Dance trail. It is not uncommon to get on stage with the musicians.

There is a mixture of Cuban and Mexican dances in Veracruz. Currently, the exhibition is not open to the public and reserved for special events: marriage, year celebration for girls, etc.

Inaugurated in 1873 by soprano Ángela Peralta, the "Mexican Nightingale", this theater is an architectural gem initiated in 1871 under the aegis of architect Juan Mañón. Over the years, it has hosted zarzuelas, operettas, circuses and even boxing matches, before becoming a cinema. Its current Porfirian-style façade dates from 1915. Today, this historic venue hosts a variety of events: plays, dance performances, concerts, children's workshops, conferences and festivals such as the International Jazz and Blues and the Cervantino.

This independent cultural center offers a varied selection of films and documentaries highlighting Mexican cinema. On the upper floor, you'll find a charming tearoom and a small restaurant with a terrace offering a magnificent view. The two cinemas, though small, are brimming with personality, with their burgundy wallpaper and antique leather armchairs. Check out the film schedules on their website, or go directly to the cinema. There's also a bar with board games on the second floor.

Concerts are often held on the top floor of the Spanish Cultural Centre (inaugurated in 2002 by the King of Spain himself), which is located in the heart of the historic centre. The music is varied, from jazz to electronic music. Be careful, these parties attract more and more people, if you arrive too late, they won't let you in for lack of space. There is also a bar and a good restaurant serving Spanish specialities.

The Hostería del Trobador is a peña, that is, a music bar where groups live in live. But beware, the style of the house is rather the romantic songs and classics of Mexican and Latin American music. So the place is not done to dance until the early morning, but rather to spend a Bohemian evening, or in love. On Tuesday, the hotel organises poetry evenings. 

Known as the "Rock's House", Bull Dog Café is a unique establishment in Mexico City, halfway between the concert hall and the disco. Every Friday and Saturday evening, concerts are held there. They are often prestigious Mexican groups such as Molotov, Café Tacuba or Plastinila Mosh. Visit the website to find out about events. But beware, don't forget to bring your identity papers: even if you're a long time ago, you won't let you pass if you don't show your passport at the entrance!

Cine Tonalá is a unique space in the area: mostly independent cinema, the place also presents theater and music works. The vintage atmosphere is very nice, and the programming is really great. You can see some blockbusters, but also independent Mexican films. If you're in the mood for a one-man show, check out the website for a list of events. There is also a restaurant and a bar on site, so you can relax before the show or debrief afterwards.

If you don't have the chance to visit Oaxaca in July, at the Guelaguetza (see "Festivities" in the "Discovery" section), you can still attend the folk dance show organised by Casa de la Cantera every evening at. This shows a reduced reproduction of the Grandes festivities.

Inaugurated in 1874 as the Teatro Rubio, the theatre functioned as such until 1940, when it was converted into a cinema until 1963; left abandoned, it was destroyed by a cyclone in 1975. It was not until 1992 that it was reopened, in keeping with the original design. On three levels, it can accommodate up to 1,366 people. It offers a fine theater program, which makes it the flagship of Sinaloense culture, as well as temporary art exhibitions and events related to the Festival Cultural Mazatlán.

This beautiful old stone house hosts the best cultural events in Patzcuaro: great concerts (jazz, son Jarocho, blues, etc.), exhibitions, local handicraft sales, book presentations, etc. The bar is also known for serving pulque, mezcal, craft beer and cocktails in the beautiful central patio. It also serves small dishes to satisfy your hunger at any time. Everything you need to spend a relaxed moment in the company of locals and people passing through. Night owls beware.

Opened in 2016, the place is the new mecca for extreme rock music, punk or psychedelic tendencies, with also some techno events in the free and decadent 90s style. This is really where it's at. The setting lends itself quite well to the concept of the place: skulls and bones on the walls and around the bar, a small stage with psychedelic motifs, Colette benches in fake velvet or leather, a very underground atmosphere... Foro Bizarro is really a UFO in the Mexico City nightlife. Resolutely alternative.

For the Holy Grail of San Cristobal nightlife, look no further! This cultural space is a welcoming venue that provides a platform for anyone wishing to share their work and creations to exhibit them, offering visitors an enriching and unique experience. With a variety of events including theater performances, jam sessions, music concerts, film screenings and dance classes, every day of the week holds something exciting in store. Not to be missed!

For a change from Latin rhythms, here is a pleasant jazz club in the heart of the historic center. Both Mexican and foreign bands play here. You'll feel good in its cozy atmosphere, with velvet curtains, red neon lights and candlelit tables. To find out what's on, check out the club's website or social networks. Reservations are recommended, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings. Not bad for a romantic evening with excellent music.

Just a few blocks from the Palacio de Bellas Artes, don't miss the façade of this small theatre. Its history is closely linked to that of the star, singer and actress Esperanza Iris (1884-1962), who gave the instructions for the construction of a theatre modelled on La Scala in Milan. It was inaugurated in 1918 and is still as majestic as ever. The place still hosts many concerts and recitals. Attending one of them is the best way to discover its magnificent interior.

This is the beautiful theatre of Colima, which is located in the heart of the city and was built at the end of the 19th century (from 1871). It is the only centennial building in the state. In 1879, when its construction was not yet completed, the theatre hosted bullfights. Since then, it has been the cultural heart of Colima, where plays, operas, festivals and performances are held throughout the year. Thanks to important renovations, it has recovered its splendor after decades of decay.

It was originally a movie set built in the middle of a semi-desert landscape, surrounded by rocky mountains, which we like to associate with Hollywood westerns of the 1970s. The first quality feature film to be shot here was Buck and His Partner, starring Sydney Poitiers and Harry Belafonte. This was followed by a dozen or so notable Hollywood productions and then by lesser quality films. Today, it is a sort of entertainment park built around the traditional single street of western villages.

This is the cultural café that energizes the young local artistic and cultural scene: a large number of events are organized here, from film cycles, theatre, concerts, readings, artistic performances to exhibitions of all kinds. If you want to taste the local mezcals and beers, this is also the place to do it. For the rest, it will be coffee and wine. We love the bohemian atmosphere of the place, with its colourful walls, its mismatched furniture, its modern sculptures and paintings and the small fountain that emits a pleasant gurgling sound.
