How can I throw an Ecuadorian-style party for my friend from Cuenca?

One of my good friends that I met this year is a foreign exchange student from Cuenca, Ecuador. She always talks of the late-night parties with music and dancing that were traditional for her back home. I want to throw her a party before she leaves June 25th. I want it to feel like home and I want it to be fun. Keep in mind she is 19 as am I so alcoholic beverages (or ideas centering around drinking) would be a no-go. I am friends with some of her friends from Cuenca but their English is very poor. So I can't ask them for help or get the details I'd desire. So any thoughts on decorations, activities, music, etc? I have a pool and a patio/deck that I usually host my parties on as a heads up. Is there a difference between a traditional Ecuadorian party and the typical teenage parties my friend speaks of? I just want to do something special for her and I think this would mean a lot to her

The Meeting Pool $10.38 Baka Beyond employs many different ethnic influences to create their unique style. The most noticeable elements are Celtic, exemplified by the fiddle of French musician Paddy LeMercier, and of course Baka. The Baka are the Pygmies of Cameroon. Guitarist and group leader Martin Cradick has spent a fair amount of time with them, and he incorporates samples of their music and environmental sounds onto several tracks. Even where the Baka themselves are not heard from, their music is. Several of the numbers are based on Baka tunes, and the two female vocalists, Su Hart and Kate Budd, strive to sing in a Baka style. The overall effect is upbeat but mellow. One thing that Craddick lost when he broke up with Outback bandmate Graham Wiggins is Wiggins' fire (Wiggins on the other hand lost Cradick's subtlety). Still, Meeting Pool has moments of real piquancy, as on "Ohureo," a traditional from the Western Isles of Scotland. This macabre lullaby, dressed up with African drums and LeMercier's fiddle commentary, is achingly entrancing. More propulsive is "Meeting of Tribes," a Cradick original that features music and instruments from four continents, including the didjeridu. On the surface this music may sound a bit mild, but at its heart lie deep emotions fueled by wonder. Beautiful. ~ Kurt Keefner, Rovi Performers: Nené - Water Drums; Paddy le Mercier - Dzouma, Flute, Violin; Mark Robson - Didjeridu; Martin Cradick - Ngombi, Kora, Balafon, Mandolin, Vocals, Percussion, Guitar; Sam Pope - Bodhran; Mark Pinto - Bass (Electric), Double Bass; Sagar N'Gom - Multi Instruments; Kate Budd - Vocals; Su Hart - Vocals;

Trying to find this hotel in Orlando?

Trying to find the name of a hotel I stayed at about 3 years ago in Orlando. Thought it was the Crowne Plaza on Intl Drive. This hotel's pool area looks like the current Crowne Plaza but my accommodations were condo in style: full kitchen, small sitting room and bed and bath. The current photos in this Crowne Plaza's web sites only show traditional hotel rooms.

It is a lovely hotel, not a timeshare, but an investor-owned type place with condo rooms. It was on I-drive, sort of by itself.

A lovely hotel that may not be a Crowne Plaza anymore...

The Crowne Plaza does offer suites but I can only find pictures of the regular rooms. I am sure that this is what you are wanting.
