The Barri Gòtic outpost of a Madrid-born nightlife sensation, Marula transports you to the 1970s and the best in funk and soul. James Brown fans will think they’ve died and gone to heaven. It’s not, however, a mono-thematic place: DJs slip in other tunes, from breakbeat to house, and there are regular live gigs. Samba and other Brazilian dance sounds also put in an appearance.
