Latin Open Mic at Tatáme – Enjoying local Latin talent, in our Orlando
Posted on 08. Nov, 2009 by pulsobeat in Cultura, Estados Unidos, Hip Hop, Rock- Alternativo, | Destacado |, | Escoje tu País |
“Latin Open Mic” is an event that was created in order to provide an opportunity for all Latin American artists to share their talent without limitations .
The term “Open Mic” means that any member of the audience can participate. This concept has become popular recently, however, this is the first open mic in Central Florida dedicated to all Latin American artists. This event is a great opportunity for both emerging and professional artists to share their talent and get acquainted with the public and other local musicians.
Latin Open Mic takes place every Tuesday, at a lounge called Tatáme. The initiative for this event was the desire of the owners Jeff Jaclin and Jessica Sterner to support the Hispanic community in Central Florida, and the hope of the host Marcela Garcés to establish a place where Latin American artists feel free to share their talent and spectators can enjoy a completely new and innovative environment. Every night we meet new talent, musicians work together, and the audience is part of a creative and spontaneous atmosphere that is only found in an open mic.
Since its grand opening about a month ago, Latin Open Mic has increased the diffusion and appreciation of musical talent in our community by enabling new and known bands such as Arepa de Cui, Urbe Prima, Kool-Us and solo artists such as Manuel Manzano, Andres Ocampo, Nikko Raptoulis, Ignacio Soto, Luis Rexach, Josue Velez, among others, to debut their music and share their experience in a more relaxed atmosphere.
You can hear some of the artists who have shared their music here and of course at the event, let’s meet there on Tuesday and bring friends!

Marcela always wanted to put an event together which could give an alternative to the Latin community here on Orlando, and I am so glad to see she has been able to materialize that vision in her own way and make it a success.
Thanks for believing Marce, and Congrats!!!!!

I gotta tell you, this host, Marcela, has a heart of gold, loves music, loves people! She always welcomes all with her beautiful Colombian smile, and makes you feel welcomed! She’s been fighting to find a venue to promote this type of cultural events for a while, and she is excited to see us, musicians and music fans alike, come and join a heightened explosion of creativity on stage at the intimate and cozy Tatame Sake Lounge!
Every time I’ve gone, I feel at home…be it cuz of the sofa-living-room like ambiance or the super contagious good vibes of music fans, musicians, and casual walk-iners! Man, I truly love it there, and look forward, AND make it a point to attend, and sometimes sing with my “pistas” (instrument tracks) a little somethin’-somethin’ !
So awesome to finally have a place where to vent our artistic expressions and ambitions through music. These ‘cantautores’ have nothing to envy any musician or songwriters that have already had any type of formal success. They too started somewhere small, and grew big!
But every Tuesday night @ Tatame’s Latin Open Mic there is a nice “sancocho” of as different genres of music as the player/singers are capable of producing, improvised artistic collaborations, and “lo que no puede faltar”, los ENCORE, and special song requests!
Mi pana friend! Don’t let me or anyone tell you about it…it will never be the same! Vente, Unete y Gozatelo!
jACH!

Never been, but I still support from far away! I went to her birthday party and had a blast.
Not only is Marcela a great host, but also an amazing graphic designer!
I’m so glad that the Orlando scene is coming up now and latinos have a platform to share our talent, because hehe we have that sazoncito!
Keep up the good vibes and love!
Peace and Love
