A marriachi serenade

How do I find musicians in Bogota By Jim 2002-08-20
My girlfriend (a Colombiana) is going to Colombia for a few weeks, and I wanted to fly there from the U.S. to bring a serenata for her. I was wondering if anyone here has a recommendation of where I can find musicians who do serenatas in Bogota (or a website where I could find them)? I understand that I can ask in a hotel for them to help me arrange one, but I prefer going directly from the airport to her house. I also wanted to know if anyone had a particular song that would be appropriate (I was thinking of "Si Nos Dejan"). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim

Serenade in Bogota By Rogelio 2002-09-04
there are no web sites were you can hire musicians, I recomend you to, first, find a local friend, very important to be acompanied, you cant be alone, an important reason is security, the second one is that is not nice to drink alone, and third after the serenade you have to keep drinking and there is nothing better that talk and sing with a friend about your newly lived experience, of course absolutly drunk. your local friend will know for sure where to find musicians or you can ask a trustable taxi driver, the ones that you can hire in the hotel, are a little bit more expensive but are secure. Thre is a song that you cant miss in a serenade is "La cuchilla", the Colombianas love that song.

Women give serenades too By Pedro, xciscoz at hotmail.com 2002-09-09 Women give serenates two, birthdays are comun ocassions for serenates, I was given one by my girlfriend who hired three musicians, (a trio), each one with his own guitar.

She paid four songs, they sang tree, and the other one is for the honored to request a song for whoever hired them. Once I find their business card I will post again, with the names of the songs.

True By Danielote, DanAtreides at msn.com 2003-01-14 Well it's true...Serenades can be very romantic but sometimes you can get sick and tired of them b/c some Colombian men can't think of anything else to bring out the romance or, should I say, show it to their women. Yes, it's nice to serenade someone and hehe...wake up the neighborhood in the process, but I who lived for 13 years in beautiful Bogota (hincha del Santafecito lindo) think that Serenades, like all romantic milieus and stuff, have to have their time and place, and not be overused lest it'll become tedious routine for everything.

Examples? Plenty. My mother had an eye surgery. What was the suggestion made by my family? "Llevemosle una serenata" (Let's give her a serenade). Nanna came from US...another serenade. My sister's boyfriend, drunk as a skunk and back then a violin player at the Philarmonic Orchestra of Bogota, had the one-synapse-short-of-an-Einstein-genius idea of a serenade. And if I go this year to Colombia, what's expecting me on arrival? Another friggin' serenade!!!! STop the goddamn serenades. I'll shoot the guy with the guitarron mexicano if I see another serenader and most certainly I will hate being the serenadee, capisce?

Unless it's for another hot girl, then hey let's give her a serenade!!! She'll like it lots.

Marriachi I think you must use the word Mariachi instead of Marriachi.

Thanks
