Our Story

In 2017, two brothers set out to bring Reggaeton to Norway.
Born in Bolivia and raised in Kristiansand, they sparked something new.
A movement that would grow into The Nordic Latin experience.

Built on Reggaeton

Reggaeton is the foundation of ParisLatino.
Not as a trend, but as a culture.

It’s the sound that brings people together.
The rhythm that crosses language, borders, and backgrounds.

Everything else grew from there.

How it started

ParisLatino started as a small idea.
In a city — and a country — where reggaeton didn’t belong.

It was created by two Bolivian-Norwegian brothers who grew up between cultures.


Never fully one.
Never fully the other.

There was no experience.
No funding.
No plan.

Only a clear idea:
to create a place for Latin music and culture in the North.

Early on, it didn’t fit.
It was called not Latin enough.
And too foreign for Nordic nightlife.

Still, it continued.

How it’s going

Small rooms became full venues.
One city became several.
One country became many.

Year by year, ParisLatino grew — not through trends, but through people showing up, night after night.

Today, ParisLatino brings thousands together each year across Norway, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark — through music and shared moments on the dancefloor.

Why it Matters

ParisLatino isn’t just a party.
It’s The Nordic Latin Experience.

A place where different cultures meet.
A space built for those who live between worlds.

Here, people don’t have to explain who they are.
They can just belong.
