Spanish Bilingual djs who are proficient in English and Spanish music does not happen much. Usually one dj specializes in one type of music but it’s a rarity they can rock a party in two languages. Not everyone has the opportunity to be immersed in both languages and cultures. It is important for events like weddings and quinceneras.

People try to do both without doing it justice. I like to share a playlist with my prospective clients to see what kind of Spanish music I would play. I also share my English mixes I posted online so they can feel the energy and mixing style.

A lot of events that I do it seems like the Latin music is what drives people to dance. A good dj feeds the crowd what they want. I did an event recently where they wanted some English and some Spanish. I like to over prepare and I had a lot of Spanish songs in my playlist just in case. It seemed like people really wanted the Spanish music and we went hard with it and they even requested another hour.

Playing cumbias, merengues, reggaeton, and bachata music is a cheat code since they make people want to dance but its also good to have English classics in the back pocket in case the vibe wants to go there.

Bilingual djs should know their limitations and not bite off more than they can chew for the sake of the client and transparent communication is vital for the success of the event. Call Black and White Affair Djs for your Latin Bilingual Spanish dance party.

  Did two events in one mall this past Saturday. It is always exciting to play somewhere new and it is hard to prepare accurately since we have never played there. Are we going to play something old or new or do we do Spanish Music? I know in the Brea mall what to play but this Mall is not Brea. So what I did was play all kinds of music and a little bit of everything. Some folks play the same kind of music the whole time but I like to play everything to make as many folks as happy as possible. I  started with  some old school r&b then went to 80s  and 90s pop then went to  disco. We play as many songs as possible and rarely let the whole song play. The goal is to not have any dead air and to get the toes tapping when folks are shopping.

 We played for 4 hours then took the set up like 40 feet and played for a fragrance company, Creed. They were having a celebration where they had some delicious appetizers and drinks. The playlist was pretty much pop music and playing instrumental covers of famous songs. Overall it was a fun day and when I was putting everything away the employees thanked me for the diverse music selection. I do love playing at Nordstrom’s since their employees are fun natured folks who provide good customer service and they provide their own do booth. Anyone who has their in house dj booth does not play! It’s a culture thing!

Searching for a Spanish DJ in the Bay Area can be overwhelming. With so many options, it’s hard to find the one that fits your needs and creates the perfect atmosphere for your event. Follow these steps and you’ll be sure to have an amazing time!

Do Your Research

Research is always key when searching for something specific. Start by asking friends or family who they would recommend, as word of mouth recommendations are usually reliable. You can also check out online reviews to ensure that you get a good feeling about any potential DJs you may want to hire. Make sure to read up on their background, past experiences, and any additional services they may offer such as music selection or equipment rental. This will help narrow down your search until you find a DJ that meets all of your requirements.

Request Samples

Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, it’s time to request samples from each potential DJ. This way you can start to get an idea of what kind of music they play and how well they mix songs together. Look for someone who not only offers a variety of different styles but also knows how to match them together seamlessly. Additionally, look for someone who is willing to take requests from guests at the event if necessary. 

Interview Potential DJs                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

After listening through some samples and finding one or two DJs you like, it’s time for interviews! Take this opportunity to ask questions about their experience and what kind of services they provide before making a decision regarding which DJ is right for your event. It is important to ensure that all expectations are met prior to hiring someone as no one wants any surprises during their special day! It also doesn't hurt to discuss pricing at this point too!

By following these tips, finding the perfect Spanish DJ in the Bay Area will be easy!

I love doing retail stores. My only instruction was to play xmas music and some pop music. So its late in the holiday season and a lot of folks are tired of hearing Mariah Carey Christmas songs. Sprinkling some Christmas songs, I would have like 2 to 4 per hour but the rest of my playlist was full of pop music from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. One of the highlights of the night was this lady was dancing and she would encourage other people who were walking by to dance with her. And no she was not one of my employees but I did love her energy. I did give out 4 of my business cards and I ran out so that a good thing. I looked into getting a digital business card so all my info can be shared with a tap of a card.

I was able to pack up pretty quickly then headed up to Reseda for a school holiday party. Children were not present so the adults were allowed to play. It was a private party at a residence. We were outside so it was a bit cold but the party goers did not feel it since they were too busy dancing. I can honestly so we covered a wide array of music. We played a lot of fun 80s, then moved up to 90s pop then even went to 90s house which I never play but it was appreciated. Later we covered 2010s jams like Calvin Harris and Pitbull. We also did a lot of Spanish music to keep the fun going.  

If you don't have a good mix of Latin songs when you're throwing a Spanish party in LA, your party will be homogenous and blend with every other Spanish party. Rather than seeming like a curated experience with the help of your bilingual emcee, your party will feel like you simply put on a Spotify playlist and press play. Don't let that be the case. Choose some of these popular — and less well-known songs to make your party a memorable experience.

'Congo Mulence' by Machito

Allow guests to mingle with this sultry Latin jazz number. This song sets the mood and can be used during the portion of your Los Angeles party where guests are entering, making their introduction, or grabbing drinks before hitting the dance floor.

'Lo Que Paso Paso' by Daddy Yankee

Now, invite your guests to the dance floor. This Reggaeton song has become an instant classic because of its fascinating composition and electric beat while still being a brilliant reflection of Daddy Yankee's Puerto Rican vibes.

'Tributo al Niño Rivera' by Afro-Cuban All Stars

Think of your Spanish party in LA like a decadently layered dessert or fun Starbucks drink, with every bite — or sip — tantalizing your tastebuds.

Although you may have started with some cool Brazilian jazz, it's time to spark some serious dance moves with this Cuban salsa tune. The most elegant arrangement of instruments including the flute and tres, make this the perfect song to dance and listen to, providing six minutes of pure bliss.

'Mujer Celosa' by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico

This song doesn't need an introduction as it's arguably one of the best songs to emerge from the premier group in Puerto Rican salsa. Guests will enjoy dancing to this track.

'Procura' by Chichi Peralta

Keep the dance mood going with this high-energy Dominican song that has an intoxicating fusion of tropical sounds — a staple for any Spanish party.

'Woman del Callao' by Juan Luis Guerra

A true Spanish party isn't complete unless you play music from Latin music legend Juan Luis Guerra. This merengue song will ensure the dancing continues unabated. You may even be able to twist your DJ's arm to get a slick remix to the song accompanied by an enticing introduction from your bilingual emcee.

'Guallando' by Fulanito

Another merengue song, Gullando is a classic Spanish party song with an intoxicating uptempo beat, only enhanced by the enchanting accordion in the background.

'Antes de Perderte' by Duki

In the right mix, this Latin urban song can help keep the party going, reinvigorating guests with its electric beat and rhythmic tempo. It also helps that the song has become popular, so bound to be enjoyed and appreciated by partygoers. Your bilingual emcee will also do a great job introducing this 2022 hit.

'Otro Atardecer' by Bad Bunny & The Marias

Bring the vibes down again with this Bad Bunny hit that shows his versatility as an artist.

Consider this an outro to get guests to talk, catch up, or wind down before heading home.

Now is also the time for your bilingual emcee to make his or her final announcements, before inviting guests to slow down from the fast pace.

  Our first round we were in a gym rocking the silent disco. For the second round we were out by the steps by the mission. We were outside playing for the masses. The first time around we were playing on one channel and this time around we were notified we can do multiple channels. All we needed was another transmitter to send it to the headphones.

In the first channel we were playing more the the current music (even did a small Bollywood set) (always got to be prepared to play anything)  and on channel two we were playing more for the folks who like old school. We had our djs lined up next to each other mixing.

  Silent disco is the coolest thing since you can have multiple djs right next to each other and the music won’t conflict with each other. If we wanted to we could have 3 djs playing right next to each other. The set up of the silent disco took a few minutes. And another cool thing was the people were not even close and they can receive the music in their headphones.

It was neat to see the different color headphones in the dark. The color determined what channel the folks were listening to.

Love playing at Santa Clara University! We were playing for multiple ages and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Thank you Santa Clara for setting up a fun event for everyone.

We were able to play at a retail store in Brea. It was very easy to set up since they had their own booth. I have done stores before but this one had to be the biggest. There were a few things I learned. I learned we do not need to be so loud. We had one speaker facing one direction and the other speaker faced the other direction. It was also Spanish Heritage Month so we included more Spanish in our playlist. When I got there they told me they wanted pop such like Beyonce and Timberlake. I used that as my baseline and decided to go way open format.

When you play at a retail store, it is best to play music that everyone knows unless you are doing some underground house music. I would try to play one to two versus of a song and then mix in another song. My goal was to have no dead air. Songs were either mixed in or a new beat dropped once a song finished if it went that far.

One of the songs that got everyone moving was by Bad Bunny. It has to be his biggest hit. I tried to keep it as latin as possible. I played a lot of Selena and Pitbull and added Marc Anthony. Most of my list was pop songs that everyone knew.

I started 15 minutes before schedule and finished 5 hours and 15 minutes later. It did not feel like 5 hours and it was 5 hours of enjoyment. I can truly say it was an open format set that ranged from Calvin Harris, Katy Perry to Selena and to the Temptations.

It was a joy to play for many types of people and look forward to doing it again. Please call Black and White Affair dj for your retail dj needs.
