Nostalgia Night (Uruguay)
- Nostalgia Night (Uruguay)
In Uruguay, the Nostalgia Night (Spanish: "la Noche de la Nostalgia") is celebrated every August 24. Every dancing club, broadcasting station and many events play "nostalgic music" (Oldies).
Its origins are somehow disputed. It started in the decade of 1970. According to José Fernández, owner of the Disco Ton Ton Metek, as every 24th August is the day before Uruguayan Independence Day, a national holiday, once he proposed to Pablo Lecueder (director of the broadcast program Old Hits, in the then CX32 Radiomundo) to do something in a night that could be commercially profitable.
That same year, the 24 August at night (disputed) in Ton Ton was held the first Nostalgia Night. Nobody would imagine its success; nobody would predict that this night would repeat its success so many times and become part of Uruguayan folkore.
