Lou Lou's's Upcoming Shows

This evening, Lou Lou’s will be closed for a private affair—an intimate celebration tucked beneath the chandeliers and velvet glow.

We know evenings out are special, and we never take it lightly when we must turn you away. Please accept our heartfelt apologies for the inconvenience. Nights like these are rare, but sometimes the room asks for a little secrecy.

For your next night out, we invite you to check our calendar for upcoming dates featuring live music, good company, and the kind of evenings you won’t soon forget.

With love and gratitude,

Lou Lou’s at The Lafayette Hotel

10PM: CREEPXOTICA is the premier Haunted Bossa Nova and Exotica band from San Diego, California. Whether you see them poolside or over drinks at the Bali Hai, you will be mesmerized by their intoxicating sound.

8PM: REY WOLF, the 21st century crooner tight ropes Swamp Blues and Jazz Noir. The avant-garde show hyper activates your eyes and ears. El Rey’s vocals capture the allure of early Hollywood crooners, the vulnerability of Roy Orbison, and the raw power of Howlin’ Wolf. Like a David Lynch film, the juxtaposition between El Rey’s dark ballads and the light of romance can feel familiar, but always carries with it a more complex undertow waiting to pull you in. REY WOLF consists of both original compositions and obscure songs from the 30's and 40's

Hailing from both coasts of these United States, La Boogie Buena is what happens when the grit of the East meets the groove of the West — and they agree never to let it be boring. Their original music is built on a foundation of steady, irresistible funk, draped in jazz harmony and oozing with soul that gets into your bones and stays there.

Equal parts tight and loose, the band moves between smoky, late-night grooves and full-throttle dance-floor burners without missing a beat — literally. Drawing from a deep well of American roots music, La Boogie Buena writes songs that feel like memories you never had: familiar the moment you hear them, impossible to shake once they're gone.

Whether you came for the licks, the pocket, or just a night out you won't forget, La Boogie Buena delivers — and then some. This is music for moving your body and feeding your spirit, all wrapped up in one seriously good time.

Born and raised in Havana, Dayramir González grew up surrounded by music. His father, the celebrated Afro-Cuban jazz trumpeter Fabian González, filled their home with the rhythms and harmonies of Cuba's musical heart. At just sixteen, González took his first professional steps as pianist and composer with former Irakere member Oscar Valdés' Afro-Cuban jazz ensemble Diákara. His original composition won first place at Havana's 2005 JoJazz Festival, earning him a record deal with Cuba's national label Colibrí. His debut album Habana enTRANCé went on to win three Cubadisco Awards, Cuba's equivalent of the GRAMMYs. While studying classical composition and orchestration at Havana's prestigious Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA), piano master Chucho Valdés personally mentored him as he prepared for the Berklee College of Music scholarship auditions — where González earned the first-ever Presidential Scholarship awarded to a Cuban national. In 2013, González moved to New York, quickly becoming a fixture at iconic venues from Joe's Pub and Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola to Jazz at Lincoln Center. His Carnegie Hall debut, presented by Chucho Valdés, affirmed his place among the leading voices in modern jazz piano. His discography includes Habana enTRANCé (2007) and The Grand Concourse (2018), which received 4.5 stars from DownBeat Magazine. He has been called "a stunningly gifted composer and arranger" by The Wall Street Journal and praised for "a pianism that naturally extends the brilliant legacy of Cuban jazz pianists from Bebo Valdés to Chucho Valdés to Gonzalo Rubalcaba" by LA Weekly. A Yamaha Artist and passionate educator, González has led more than 100 masterclasses worldwide and founded the Cuban Jazz Academy curriculum. His newest project, V.I.D.A., celebrates 25 years of creative evolution — bridging generations, genres, and cultures from Havana to the world's grandest stages.
