What you’ll do

Step outside in Mexico City and music plays on every corner. To find where what "sounds like Mexico" came from, walk the Centro Histórico with me, from the organilleros of the 1800s to Golden Age cinema, cumbia, High Energy, Mexican rock and Juan Gabriel at Bellas Artes. We'll visit historic theaters, instrument workshops and record stores, and talk in person with the people who keep this history alive.

About me

Hi, I'm Pablo. I'm a music lover based in Mexico City who runs the music tourism lab Disco y Amigos. We organize tours, exhibits, and meetups that help people connect with the city's amazing music scenes. I've also written about Latin music and the tourism it inspires for publications like Conde Nast Traveler, Billboard, and Remezcla. I can't wait to groove around the city together.
