55 dB Listening Bar

Astorga, Medellín, Colombia

55 dB is a second-floor listening and cocktail bar in Astorga, above Campesino Café. The room is small and close-range, with a vinyl collection, a dedicated DJ position and cocktails sharing equal billing with the music.

Resident and guest selectors handle the records. Published sessions have moved through funk, disco, blues and electronic music, and the collection is treated as working material rather than a backdrop. The programme changes with the selectors, so the bar makes more sense as a place to stay with a set than somewhere running a fixed house playlist.

This is social listening rather than a silent jazz kissa. Conversation is part of the evening, and the bar format matters, but the records are handled by people choosing music for the room. It suits a drink and a long vinyl set more than a quick stop between louder El Poblado clubs.
