Venue owner has denied any plans to sell


Nightlife industry entrepreneurs complain about "a decade of problems, linked with the crisis, VAT increase and inspections", leading them to “question the future." The nightclub Joy Eslava first opened the night of Monday, 23 February 1981, after overflowing public euphoria for overcoming 23F*


"Everybody on the floor!!"

The owners of Joy Eslava in Madrid denied today a sales operation existed at this moment of their famous club and reaffirmed the venue "is a strong and forward-looking project".



Businessman Pedro Trapote, nightclub owner, said JOY is currently "in its period of greatest activity" with preparations of their 35th Anniversary and the launch of “Escenario Eslava” (Eslava Stage), a commitment to live music with details being announced during the anniversary. The first 35 years of Joy Eslava are hot material from the history of our Madrid.



"Nightlife entrepreneurs are suffering a decade of linked problems, with the crisis, the VAT increase, new administrative status, inheritance of misfortune Madrid Arena and continuous inspections. This leaves the sector in an uncomfortable position, and so many leads us to question the future. But it is not the case with Joy."



Thus, they have come out against reports in media that said Trapote planned to sell the distinguished club and in the future it would be a clothes store or restaurant. 



Joy Eslava, launched by entrepreneur Pedro Trapote in Madrid's central "Arenal" street, opened the evening of February 23, 1981, after the overflowing euphoria of overcoming 23-F. Since then, political figures, international celebrities, sports stars, and familiar faces of culture, cinema, music, TV...  Roger Moore, Pedro Almodóvar, Stevie Wonder and Julio Iglesias have danced at Joy Eslava



"The first 35 years of Joy Eslava are hot material from the history of Madrid nightlife passing through the magical sieve into its more playful dimension."

JUBILADOS DE MARCHA

Se está convirtiendo en una tendencia en las redes sociales, la cantidad de personas mayores que bailan como si tuvieran 20 años  

Bora Bora - Ibiza (2015)
Hace sólo dos semanas en Holanda el mismo “Casa Opa” (Abuelo del House) captó la atención en Festival “Edit” en Haarlem.  Sus bailes estaban por todo Facebook.  Ha estado apareciendo antes y después de asistir a otros festivales y fiestas de baile con regularidad.  

Otros personajes interesantes de edad avanzada se han dado a conocer en otros lugares como Berlín, Detroit e IBIZA!!

Aquí hay un pequeño testimonio de estas personas, están demostrando a los jóvenes que bailar y amar la música de baile no tiene fecha de caducidad...

Por ejemplo, a Patricia Lay-Dorsey se le conoce como “Grandma Techno” (La Techno Abuela) con sus 72 años, es una de las visitantes más regulares del Festival “Movement” en Detroit.  Hicieron un mini-documental sobre ella, y porque a ella le encanta sobre todo ir a festivales a bailar.


“La Abuela Bailando Techno”

Luego está la historia de Johan de Vries (Nacido en 1932) quien se ha creado una reputación de clase como la "Casa Opa" en festivales holandeses y en las discotecas cerca de Ámsterdam. Este video fue tomado en el festival “Edit” hace unas semanas y se convirtió en un éxito cuando la gente empezó a compartir los movimientos de baile idiosincrásicos de Johan. Recibió clases de baile profesionales en su día, así se puede ver elementos de cada tipo de baile de tus abuelos pisando fuerte con pies arrugadas.

“El Abuelo del House Music”

Entrevista en Holandés

Uno un poco más joven que Johan, pero sin duda merece una mención aquí es Jan Bakker, la leyenda viviente con casi 70 años que se ha convertido en un nombre familiar en la noche de Ámsterdam.

Festival “Dockyard”

Luego está Komet Bernhard quién es una persona mayor muy conocido en la escena de Berlín. En un festival había una cola de Berlineses que querían darle la mano. Parece que se le ha ido cabeza debido a las drogas, pero por lo que se oye baila asi cuando está completamente sobrio [aparte de los chupitos de Jäger, como se puede ver en el vídeo a continuación].

El Famoso Abuelo de Berlin de Fiesta

Llegó a la fama protagonizando el video para el remix de Adana Twins “Strange” por Acid Pauli y NU.

RENT A NIGHTCLUB IN MADRID

Rent a Nightclub in Madrid

Only €50,000 / Month

4 Large Terraces. Includes Hospitality & Leisure Licence [1,775 m2]


Yep! €50,000 a month [only £8242/week!] is how much it costs to rent the former nightclub “Oh Madrid”, famously known in its last years as “Buddha del Mar”.  This legendary nightclub closed 5 January 2014, when they had their last party after more than 20 years open.


The restaurant is located 8.7 km north-west of Madrid; with a total area of 19,000 ft2 distributed on three floors, and is an ideal venue for catering and entertainment operations.

The property has four large terraces on the front, side and rear, which are its main attractions, although it was originally built for residential use. It also has a large outer space ideal for parking.

Since the three Lozano brothers, responsible for the business were forced to close because they were unable to meet the rent costs, many have expressed interest in this venture.

The future of this emblematic Madrid nightclub remains uncertain.  It symbolised the most glamorous nightlife venue in the capital where the Spanish national football team celebrated the 2010 World Cup victory, and was habitually frequented by Real Madrid players and many other celebrities.
