Being able to enjoy different music in different languages has been a blessing while going to events. When it comes to Spanish music, there is so much to choose from. Playlists can have some cumbias, salsas, bandas, bachata, reggaeton, norteno, corridos, and ranchera to name a few. Then you have the English music to think about. How can you get all that music in one event. Some people consider maybe getting a Spanish band then getting an English Dj. Bands can be expensive so if they want to get all that music then they should consider a Bilingual Spanish Dj that can cover all that music.

I find the music that the older generation likes you play early since sometimes the older folks ten to leave early. Like I would play some rancheras during the dinner part of the night. I would save the dance Spanish music when it is time to get down. 

How much of Spanish then English do you play? Each event is different. You can base it on what the clients want and use that to gauge. A dj can have a must playlist and makes sure those songs are played. But I noticed in Spanish Bilingual events folks really get into the Spanish Music. For me if its time for English music I go for the hitters that won’t fail. I like to go to the classics for funk and old school. There maybe some new trending tracks but with old school its been tried and succeeded. 

Consider Black and White Affair Dj for your Spanish English Event. Bay Area and now in Southern California.

There are many ways to look for a dj in the bay area. One of the most common ways is to look at the google reviews of a San Jose Dj or any bay area city then add dj reviews. Then what google does it looks at your location and gives you suggestions of djs that are close to you if you live in that area. It will not give you the one with the most reviews on top. Then you have your choice of different djs to choose from.

Some folks say do not read the good reviews but read the ones that aren’t the highest stars to get the real scoop. But I don’t believe in that. I believe in skimming all the reviews to get a feel of the dj. Look for common phrases in the reviews since that best represents the dj. “Dj responded quickly” and “Dj was friendly” can run through out the reviews would be a good sign that the dj is on it with responding and has a good demeanor. Also look for key words like weddings or Spanish dj  or different venues you are wanting your party. Its good to select a dj who has experience at your venue. 

They also mention to see how recent the reviews are. You don’t want to look at one’s years ago but the ones the past two years. Usually it’s the year but with the pandemic there weren’t really any events in 2020. 

So does the most reviews matter? It can be a sign that the dj has experience. But its best to see different djs reviews and see how they respond to the reviews to get a true sense of what the dj truly represents. 

How to select a Bay Area Dj for your wedding. (San Jose, Milpitas, Sunnyvale, Gilroy, San Martin, Mountain View, Redwood Ciity and Morgan Hill)

 People have been putting their wedding on ice for the past year and some change. We had so many folks cancel their date and wait for it to be clear. In California, we have been super conservative but it has proven to be safe by its extreme tactics. People are now trying to figure out what dj they should use for their wedding.

First step is to figure out your wedding dj budget.

A dj is what makes or breaks the wedding. You do not want to skimp on this. A dj creates the vibe for the night with the music that they play. 

Time is of the essence.

Weddings are going to be taking up dates really fast. I have been getting inquiries for the next two months. Ideally you want to select a dj from 8 to 12 months ahead. For us, we can do a wedding at least a month in advance if needed to be.

Talk with the Dj

Some folks are still resistant to meet one on one in person still. That is ok. There is zoom or facetime or the old school phone call. Pay attention how the dj talks about weddings. Are they excited about it and do they give advice about your special event.

Pay attention how quickly they respond to you.

Setting up a wedding may seem like a second job and folks need answers asap. It helps if dj is on it with the response time. Its nice if they respond the same way you contact them.
