Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico - If you are looking for live entertainment in Puerto Vallarta, the Paradise Community Center has got you covered. A long weekend of incredible entertainment starts up tonight on the Paradise Stage!

Two weeks ago Luna Rumba opened with one of our funnest concerts ever! They brought a busload of fans with them and ended their concert with people dancing all over Paradise. You don't want to miss their award winning songwriting and music presentation.

We have a new review of the Banderas Bay Jazz Allstars that you can read below. We are so blessed to share our stage in Paradise with these world class bands this week.

Saturday's Bedazzled Broadway continues to be a hit with audiences and the word is spreading. Each week more people attend this professional performance than the week before. If you like Broadway show tunes, this is your chance to hear many of your favorites right here in Paradise. These people can sing!

Thursday, 8 pm, Luna Rumba

Luna Rumba thrills audiences with their sonic tapestry of Latin Pop, Spanish Flamenco, Arabic and East Indian melodies, Cuban rhythms, Celtic riffs and even Latin Jazz. Their shows are a celebration of musical fusion, human diversity, creativity, warmth and virtuosity. Fiery violins and rumba-flamenco guitar ride on top of the unstoppable polyrhythmic grooves created by the exotic percussion instruments and drums. If this weren't enough, be prepared to hear vocals that will melt your heart and warm your soul.

Friday, 8 pm, Banderas Bay Jazz Allstars

The Banderas Bay Jazz Allstars return on Friday continuing their live recording. They have been working on some new material, mixing it up a bit this season - although they include some of the old favorites that people have come to associate with the band. Come be a part of it!

Here's a review from last week:

"We went to the Paradise Community Center, in downtown Puerto Vallarta, to hear the Banderas Bay Allstars. Everyone in the band is a virtuoso in their own right. Bryan Savage, on flute and saxophone, blows the sweetest melodies and burning improvisational solos. Chaz Eller, on keyboards, maintains a solid foundation over which everyone weaves a musical spell. He plays driving solos and soulful melodies through a collection of piano, synthesizer and Hammond organ sounds. Steve York's bass playing has unique qualities as he sings his solos with heart and soul; both melodic and metered, he's a rock. Lazaro Poey, on drums, well, it's hard to put words down to describe what he does. Perhaps one of the greatest groove masters of all time, he has you moving in your seat in ways you've never moved before! Complex rhythms pour through timing changes and dynamics that will blow your mind and keep your head engaged. Together they create a force that takes you on a joyous musical romp. Don't miss them!" - Dave Ganapoler.

Saturday, 8 pm, Bedazzled Broadway
