Who said the weekend was over? One of the city's liveliest events takes place on Monday evenings, when the long-running percussion group La Bomba de Tiempo brings the crowd to its feet at Ciudad Cultural Konex. You'll find it impossible not to dance to the rhythm when the drummers hit their stride. Only for ages 18 and over.
