Tropical Panama, Chon Arauza

Tropical Panama and Chon Arauza are playing Mala Santa on Sunday, September 6, for a night of live tropical music. It's a double bill with both names on the marquee, and the set is built around that tropical sound—the kind of music that's meant for dancing rather than sitting still.

If you're not familiar with the names, Tropical Panama brings the ensemble side of things, and Chon Arauza is the other half of the bill. Together they're taking over the stage for a full evening of tropical music played live, so you'll be hearing the instruments in the room rather than a backing track. It's the kind of show that works best when you're actually there on the dance floor.

Mala Santa is over on Burleson Road, at 8509 Burleson Rd Bldg 2 in Austin, TX 78719. The music starts at 8 PM and runs late into the night, going until 1 AM on Monday morning, so there's plenty of room to settle in and dance for a few hours without feeling rushed. If you're coming from across town, it's a bit of a haul out to that part of the city, but the late end time means you can make a real night of it.

So, Tropical Panama and Chon Arauza at Mala Santa on Sunday, September 6. The music kicks off at 8 PM and keeps going until 1 AM.
