Looking for a way to avoid the drunken throngs and puddles of vomit that seem to overrun NYC on St. Patrick’s Day (don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about). Take refuge tonight inside S.O.B’s (204 Varick Street, NYC), where the weekly Buenos Aires, Argentina party Zizek: Urban Beats Club takes over.

Zizek is about emerging Hip Hop, Dancehall, Cumbia, and Reggaetón sounds and their respective variations: Grime, Crunk, Bastard Pop and Mashups. The idea is to give these styles, ideas and rhythms an Argentine touch, with the aim of putting Buenos Aires on the map of the global music scene. The star of Zizek has been Cumbia, a Latin American sound born from the fusion of old and new worlds in Colombia that has been long looked down on as dance music for the lower classes in Argentina. Its distinctly syncretic roots promote robust adaptability and cumbia is being transformed by avant-garde musicians and producers from the USA all the way down to Argentina.

Also at the party will be the NYC alternative Latino party maestros, Nacotheque, with DJs, Amylu and Marcelo Cunning.

Just added : This party is the official after party for the Mala Rodriguez show, also tonight at Irving Plaze. S.O.B’s is offering free admission to anybody who comes with their La Mala ticket stub! That means two shows for one people!

Seriously someone come and watch my kids.
$10 Advance/$12 Day of; Available on Ticketmaster and the S.O.B.’s Box Office, 212-243-4940. Doors open 8pm.
