Disco Rodeo

April 4, 2013

by Leda Hartman

Latino immigration has impacted North Carolina’s culture in a variety of ways. You can see it in the number of Mexican restaurants here, or in the presence of Univision, the Spanish-language TV network. You can also see it at a Raleigh club called Disco Rodeo. Just a few years ago, the club was known for its rock ‘n roll shows. Now it specializes in bringing in live bands, straight from Mexico.
