CELEBRATING WITH QUINCEANERA SONGS AND MUSIC

A Quinceanera is a celebration of a young girl’s fifteenth birthday. Many Latin American girls celebrate this event with a big fiesta that rivals the other parties that they celebrated for her previous birthdays. This is a party that marks the young girl’s shift from a child to an adult.

The Quinceanera is celebrated as a grandeur party for some families while others follow the more traditional ways of the event. Depending on your tradition, you can opt to have your Quinceneara the traditional or simple ways. The celebration can be compared to a young girl’s sweet sixteen birthday or the debutant ball that is celebrated when a young lady turns 18.

For one, Quineceneara celebrations involve dancing like many Latin American countries do. There are various Quinceanera’s dances but the main focus of this dance celebration is the celebrant’s first ever dance. How is it being practiced? Initiated by a pair dance with her father, the celebrant is then introduced to the crowd with the beat of a beautiful waltz. During the pair’s dance, young boys are also lined up waiting for their next dance with the celebrant. These young boys bring with them some flowers while some participants bring a long-stemmed red or white rose and offer the flower as a present to the girl.

To further spark the Quineceneara celebration, families of the celebrant can hire a band to provide the music and quinceanera songs all throughout the event. The prominent dances include salsa, waltz and the like, including slow dances that are traditionally played with instruments. Of course, after the traditional waltz is fulfilled, the band can also play more modern and up to date songs and dances to meet the demands of the young people who are mostly present in such occasions.

It’s thus important that the family carefully choose the band. Remember that choosing a band is also a great way to deal with music and live music for celebrations like this. It can also lend a semblance of formality to the Quinceneara if you wish to have this kind of ambience.

On the other hand, hiring a band for the celebration also has some flaws if not managed appropriately. For one, the limitations of playing advanced or the latest music can be a real challenge for the band. In such occasion, preprogrammed songs and dances are a great option to make sure that the party would be as successful as possible. Hence, make sure that you communicate this matter with the band prior to you closing a deal to hire the group for the Quinceanera event. Definitely a mishap during the party is something the family is trying to avoid. So pick your best band and communicate your plans for the party.

Another consideration is hiring a DJ to play more modern music. Understand that the party is all about the young girl’s introduction to the society as an adult. The percentage of younger audience is higher. Therefore, a choice for most Quinceanera celebrations is a DJ who can play advanced type of music is most possible. This professional DJ can accommodate to create a flawless plan for the celebration. Since the Quinceanera can sometimes be a long celebration, having a professional DJ to help maintain the smooth flow of events is a great help. Most of the time, DJs also bring their own repertoire of songs. So why not request the kind of quinceanera songs you’d like to be played during the party.

Understand that music is a vital part of the Quinceanera celebration. Your choice of hiring a band or a DJ largely depends on your needs and preference. The best part is that you can hire both just to create balance. Communicate with the DJ and with the band. Coordinate who will play first and what type of music just to avoid confusion and ruining the celebration.

Make sure to prepare a list of music and quinceanera songs that you wish to be played. It’s a must to prepare and work out a detailed program along with the sequence and timing of the music. Discuss this with the band and/or DJ to make sure everyone is in sync. If you have all these covered, you can definitely just enjoy and dance the night away.
