An electronic music night at Bar Coyo, a London venue that hosts concerts, titled Día de los Muertos after the Mexican holiday of remembrance for the dead.

Día de los Muertos is an electronic music night at Bar Coyo, a London venue that hosts concerts. The title refers to the Mexican holiday of the same name, when families remember relatives and friends who have died, often building home altars decorated with marigolds, candles and photographs.

Electronic music, built on synthesisers, drum machines and computer-based production, is the genre of the night. Bar Coyo hosts concerts in London, so the evening sits within the venue's live music offer. Electronic music developed through the twentieth century from studio experiments and dance-club culture, and today covers many styles, from techno to ambient.
