La Bomba will be exploding inside The Scala on the 13th June. Alas, don’t panic if you happen to live within the vicinity of Pentonville Road or the surrounding area. Hard-hats won’t be necessary and there’s little danger of skin-slicing shrapnel; for La Bomba is a musical style deriving from Puerto Rica. In other words, you’re all set for a night of urban music from the ghettoes of South-America (or in this case London) with reggaeton, dancehall, reggae, hip hop, salsa, merengue, and bacatha sounds being cut and scratched into the mix.
Alas, La Bomba is as sexy as an Anne Summers party at the Rio de Janeiro carnival; with the Playboy Bunny’s, Girls Aloud, the hot one from Desperate Housewives, Kate Moss, and Carole Vorderman in attendance. What; we’re all allowed guilty pleasures, right? At La Bomba the women dance with such dripping sexual prowess, that eighty-year-old men have been known to toss their Viagra away by lights out and find eternal abandonment from the flaccid old chap. No wonder La Bomba is a recurring feature in Time Out’s top 5 nights in London.
The Reggaeton Room will feature some of the finest urban Latin DJ’s available, including Jose Luis, El Moreno, and the cockney master of Reggaeton - Sami Sanchez – inspired by a deep love of travel and many-a-trip to Cuba. DJ Loco will be making up the bill, the squad of four spinning and scratching a range of dancehall, reggaeton, reggae and Latin hip hop tunes.
The Salsa room speaks for itself, with Julian Mr. M, the aptly named Edwin Salsa, and Chino, taking to the decks and spinning a deep range of traditional Latin tunes; albeit with a modern twist. In case you’re wondering where merengue and bachata sounds originate, we’re going to give you a lesson in the quickest, least boring, most efficient way possible. The Dominican Republic.
Finally, in the more intimate surrounding of The CALiENTE Lounge, you’ll get an insight into the South-American party-scene in all its sweaty, sexy, romping, shaking, stomping, flaming glory! We’re talking Latin party sounds and Latin House courtesy of DJ Zorro, Ricardo Acevedo, and Diego Herrera. La Bomba’s been going for a year and a half now and continues to go from strength to strength; who needs anabolic-steroids when you’ve got good ‘ol fashioned Latin beats and some of the sexiest senoritas in the Big Smoke? No wonder it attracts the Latin contingent of Premiership stars and has grown into the finest night of underground Latin sound on the circuit. Ay curumba!
