“Onde a Festa (quase) Nunca Acabava: A História (inesquecível) do Espaço Retrô (2024)” [Where the Party (Almost) Never Ended: The (Unforgettable) History of Espaço Retrô] by Humberto Finatti | Book

Synopsis: “São Paulo’s alternative scene relives its memories with the launch of ‘ONDE A FESTA (QUASE) NUNCA ACABA: A HISTÓRIA (INESQUECÍVEL) DO ESPAÇO RETRÔ [WHERE THE PARTY (ALMOST) NEVER ENDED: THE (UNFORGETTABLE) STORY OF ESPAÇO RETRÔ]’, a fascinating book that delves into the stories of one of the first nightclubs dedicated to alternative rock in the city. Written by cultural journalist Humberto Finatti, the book is an ode to a space that marked the youth and culture of a generation.

Divided into two parts, just like Espaço Retrô itself, which had two iconic addresses, the book portrays the crazy antics, characters and memorable events that populated the venue during the 80s and 90s. With an engaging narrative and rich in detail, Finatti shares his experiences and observations, offering an intimate and authentic view of this era.

Humberto Finatti’s accounts form a vibrant mosaic of events, from unusual encounters to unforgettable parties, all from the perspective of a regular who witnessed the evolution of the music scene during this period. His prose is permeated by a critical and nostalgic eye, revealing not only the history of the house, but also the essence of a period full of freedom and creativity.

“ONDE A FESTA (QUASE) NUNCA ACABA” is more than a book; it’s a journey through time that invites lovers of Espaço Retrô and São Paulo culture to relive remarkable moments and celebrate the memory of a place that undoubtedly left its mark on the history of music in São Paulo.”

 

The book is available, in portuguese, in select libraries, such as Martins Fontes Paulista.
