A cool live music experience in BA is to attend the now-legendary Bomba de Tiempo concert/live improvised jam sessions.
Performed in an open-air art space (but closed with a modest entry fee) the Bomba de Tiempo sessions are basically huge percussion jam sessions that have grown and developed over the years. The musicians sit on a huge staircase rising from the middle of an open square thronged with people drinking, passing the occasional joint, dancing, socialising or just nodding their heads....

While for some this is true, German partying is moreso marked by their ability to party until the sun comes up the following day.
