Snorkelling in Maldives

Snorkelling in Maldives

Agustito

This friendly locale on the Chueca-Alonso Martínez border opened only recently but is already making its mark, attracting a showbiz sort of crowd. One of the owners has family ties with the flamenco-rumba band Ketama and flamenco, along with salsa and funk are the sounds most heard. The bare walls, painted soft orange and blue, it is hoped, will soon be filled with regulars’ souvenirs and photos and parties and performances are on the agenda. Prices are reasonable, 400pts for a beer and 900 for spirits with a mixer.

Diva

Now that Somerville’s Davis Square has been acknowledged as one of the newer hip places for younger bohemian types to look for rentals and for slightly older, wealthier folks to house hunt, it’s no surprise to find a new Indian restaurant opening its doors for business there. There’s nothing unusual about the menu at Diva, which features the usual cast of curries, tandoori oven specials, nan and poori breads and chutney dips. What distinguishes Diva is the decidedly upscale, bistro-style décor, which may have you expecting to pay a few more dollars for dinner than you’ll have to.

Jingle Ball 2000

Q102’s ‘Jingle Ball 2000′, Philadelphia’s hottest combo-concert of the holiday season just got hotter. With special guest host Lenny Kravitz, the night is sure to begin to heat up early. Add fiery performances by top popsters 98(, Philadelphia native R&B star Pink, Nine Days, Ruff Endz, Mya and US-chart newcomers Baha Men – and their incredibly catchy ‘Who Let the Dogs Out’ – and the night is a bone fide conflagration.

Freddy Cole Quartet

He may be the brother of Nat ‘King’ Cole but he is his own man, as his long and distinguished career as a pianist and jazz singer proves. This one-off concert by Cole and his quartet – guitar, double bass and drums as well as Freddy’s piano – also features as special guest Cedar Walton, another jazz pianist who is best known for his work with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. It promises to be an enjoyable evening for musicians and audience alike.

Future Mix II

After the success of Future Mix I in Rojam with the Japanese techno king Ken Ishii, Lychee Productions are this time bringing a techno legend from Berlin. One of the Love Parade pioneers, Mijk van Dijk made it big 10 years ago with the release of the historical techno track ‘Schongberg’. He has also become a superstar of Sony Playstation game music, with his tracks used in such classic games as Ghost in the Shell and Beat Planet Music. Support DJs are Shin Nishimura, Erick Junior, Mickey and Neebing.
