Oaxaca State

Music, Traditional entertainment in Oaxaca State

  1. A

    Candela

    Candela’s writhing salsa, cumbia and merengue band and beautiful colonial-house setting have kept it at the top of the Oaxaca nightlife lists for years. It’s open as a restaurant from 7pm, so arrive fairly early for a good table, and either learn to dance (free classes from 10pm to 11pm) or learn to watch.

    La Pasión

    This smart contemporary cantina has half a dozen screens for music and sports, and a section of sofas and easy chairs at one side. Live Latin music from 21:00 Thursday to Saturday. Enter through the Mayordomo restaurant.

    La Tentación

    Foreigners and residents alike have a great time when this venue gets up a head of steam – best on Friday and Saturday, when you can move to live salsa, merengue and cumbia.
