On December 14, 2024, the Tower Club in Fort Lauderdale was the perfect setting for a memorable 50th birthday celebration for Manuel. Overlooking the stunning skyline, this iconic venue—one of the first skyscrapers in the area—offered a beautiful backdrop for an intimate gathering of 38 close friends and family.

As guests arrived, the atmosphere was filled with excitement and warmth. The Tower Club’s elegant setting complemented the occasion perfectly. With its panoramic views and stylish decor, it was clear that this was a special night.

I had the pleasure of serving as the DJ for the evening, curating a lively mix of music that got everyone on their feet. The playlist featured a delightful blend of Latin Cumbia, salsa, and Norteño music, alongside a surprising amount of new wave tracks that added a nostalgic vibe to the celebration. It was a joy to revisit these tunes, many of which I hadn't heard in years.

The dance floor was alive with energy as guests moved to the infectious rhythms, celebrating Manuel's milestone with laughter and joy. It was heartwarming to see everyone enjoying themselves, creating lasting memories together.

A big thank you to Manuel for having me as your DJ, and to the Tower Club for providing such a wonderful atmosphere. Here’s to many more joyous celebrations in the future!
