Dina 5 Hour Set Black Friday at Blind Barber

If you want somewhere to dance off the long weekend, this is one of the more promising LA events this weekend for anyone who likes Latin club music. On Black Friday, Nov 27, Dina settles in at Blind Barber in Highland Park for a five-hour set that runs from 9PM to 2AM.

When: Friday, Nov 27, 9PM to 2AM Where: Blind Barber, 5715 N Figueroa St, Highland Park Price: Free before 10PM, $10 at the door after Age: 21+

What to expect

A single DJ for five hours is a different night from a stacked lineup. Dina has room to build slowly, change pace and follow the crowd instead of squeezing a hit parade into an hour. The listing describes high-energy music all night long, and the flyer promises perreo, hip-hop and dembow from open to close.

The genre list on the event page is long: reggaeton mexa, cumbiaton, reggaeton viejo, dembow, female rap, hip-hop, merengue and bachata. That mix suits a room where people drift between dancing and talking, and it should appeal to anyone who grew up on old reggaeton as much as to newer fans of dembow. If you are looking for raves in Los Angeles with a heavier electronic sound, this is a different flavor, closer to a Latin house party than a warehouse.

Getting in

Entry is free until 10PM and $10 at the door afterward, so arriving early saves money and gets you a spot before the room fills. The night is 21+, so bring a valid ID. The ticket page on Posh is the official source for any last-minute changes, and it is worth checking the day of the event.

Getting there

Blind Barber sits on North Figueroa Street in Highland Park, a corridor with plenty of bars and late-night food within walking distance. Street parking nearby fills up on weekends, so rideshare or a Metro ride toward Highland Park is the easier plan on a holiday weekend. Leave extra time if you are driving, since shopping traffic can spill into the area.

Make a night of it

Black Friday is the usual day for shopping, but plenty of Angelenos would rather skip the crowds and spend the evening out. Pair this with dinner in the neighborhood beforehand, then head over in time for the free window.
