This weekend in Kunming will be a relatively lively one, with two parties plus a rare chance to see some live original music.

Local original hiphop
Speakeasy Bar will host the Kunming debuts of hiphop collective South Silk Road and local jazzed-out rapper Tang Renti beginning at 10. The free show will feature all-new original tunes from both acts.

Return of the Camel
Local drinking institution the Camel Bar, which was recently demolished and converted into a parking lot, has emerged from the rubble and is reopening tonight just a bit west of its old location on Tuodong Lu. The newer, much-smaller Camel, now at 4 Tuodong Lu near the intersection with Beijing Lu, will hold an opening party featuring cocktails and shots for 10 yuan.

Purim dance party
Tomorrow (Saturday) night, the Jewish festival of Purim will be celebrated at the Hump, beginning at 9 pm. Jews, non-Jews and everyone in between will be welcome, but all partygoers must arrive in costume and pay a 25 yuan cover charge that includes an all-you-can-drink special on selected drinks. Music will be supplied by DJs Christian and Frank and dancing will be mandatory. L'Chaim!
