An Ethical Bar Success For Food For Thought Party Catering |
Sandinista! was born in the autumn of 2002 when a few friends invoked a love of good music, appetising food and great drinks. With an endearingly shabby appeal and a loosely Latin American feel, the doors opened with the ethos 'nuestra casa es tu casa - our home is your home'.
The
bar has a revolutionary theme with its name relating to both the
legendary Nicaraguan political movement and The Clash's masterpiece
triple album, which musically was a major inspiration with its eclectic
blend of reggae, funk, jazz, pop, punk and rap. Our play list soon
incorporated these genres and many more... a 'no dance' policy that is
not always that strict.... The Clash's humanist / socialist /
internationalist approach paralleled the Nicaraguan government's and in
spite of debt of $1.6 billion and 1 in 5 homeless, within 6 months of
coming to power, nearly 20% of the 3 million population were taught to
read....
A
revolution in Nicaragua...there's no interference from America?
ThoseWashington bullets want Castro dead...join the Havana
Club...Bacardi was never an option...Coca Cola was banned for its
invidious practices...Nastro joined the rebels and the rum collection
grew...and grew...as did our hangovers.
We
adapted, we innovated...occasionally we even plain pilfered. There are
so many faces to Sandinista! It probably has more faces than Howard
Marks and more lives than Keith Richards. Passion is not a fashion...
This is ours...
