Pacha is a nightclub franchise with headquarters in Ibiza, Spain. The first Pacha club was opened in Sitges outside Barcelona in 1967. The Ibiza club, located in Ibiza Town, is the best known venue today. During 2009 Pacha acquired El Divino, near the marina of Ibiza la Nueva, which will be converted to a luxury restaurant and music bar, and its name will be changed. In a poll of most popular nightclubs in 2006 conducted by DJ Magazine[1] Pacha was the fourth most popular.

Luciano Nicolet joined the team in 2010. The club was also featured in the 2004 movie It's All Gone Pete Tong.
Musically, Pacha is best known for specialising in house music but has five different rooms incorporating other musical styles. DJ Steve Lawler comments about Pacha in an interview with Ministry of Sound in 2006 that, "Pacha's a great club with an amazing sound system".[2] Every September the club is host to the DJ Awards. In 2007, musician James Blunt released a song called "1973" about the club, which was subsequently remixed by Pete Tong and played during his own sets in the club.
In 2008 Pete Tong moved his residency away from Pacha in favour of promoting his own night, Wonderland, at Eden nightclub in San Antonio[3] but has since returned to Pacha for his Friday night residency "All Gone Pete Tong."In Test Drive Unlimited 2 (2011), the club can be seen from the outside in Eivissa, but you can not go in. A sign outside it says "Pure Pacha. Every Friday Night."
Pacha New York [link]
Pacha New York is the first North American branch of the club and the newest member of the franchise. Located on the West side of Manhattan the 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) venue is made up of four floors. The site was home to the Sound Factory nightclub, which was closed in 2005. The industrial facade of the building gives no indication of the aesthetic of the decor inside.
The lower level "basement" is mostly used for the coat check and merchandise store, however when the main room gets overcrowded many patrons escape to the basement room to listen to local DJs. The first floor is the club's main room, a bare wide-open room with a traditional New York club dance floor, along with a full bar and grand staircase. The room features a powerful sound system and the intelligent, LED and conventional lightning system. The club also has a fully integrated video system. The second floor is the mezzanine, which overlooks the main floor and accommodates the club's VIPs. The third floor is made up of the Funky Room, named after Pacha Ibiza's pre-club lounge space, and has a V.I.P. section called " The Shower Lounge", where there is live shower dancing. Lastly the fourth floor is Pachita or "little pacha", located in the attic, with a capacity of 400 and suitable for dancing, lounging, or seated presentations. The couches can be changed to custom configurations, while an independent sound system and full bar allow for Pachita to host its own parties separated from the main floor. Each level, except for the mezzanine, has its own outdoor smoking level.[4]

Pacha (Inca mythology)
The pacha (often translated as world) was an Incan concept for dividing the different spheres of the cosmos in Incan mythology. There were three different levels of pacha: the hana pacha, hanan pacha or hanaq pacha (Quechua, meaning "world above"), ukhu pacha ("world below"), and kay pacha ("this world").The realms are not solely spatial, but were simultaneously spatial and temporal. Although the universe was considered a unified system within Incan cosmology, the division between the worlds was part of the dualism prominent in Incan beliefs. This dualism found that everything which existed had both features of any feature (both hot and cold, positive and negative, dark and light, etc.).
Meaning of pacha
Pacha is often translated as "world" in Quechua, but the concept also includes a temporal context of meaning. Catherine J. Allen writes that "The Quechua word pacha may refer to the whole cosmos or to a specific moment in time, with interpretation depending on the context." Allen thus chooses to translate the term as "world-moment."Pachas overlap and interact in Incan cosmology presenting both a material order and a moral order. Dr. Atuq Eusebio Manga Qespi, native Quechua speaker, directly states that pacha should be translated to Spanish as tiempo-espacio (spacetime in English).
List of The Emperor's New Groove characters
The following are fictional characters from Disney's 2000 film The Emperor's New Groove, its direct-to-video sequel Kronk's New Groove, and the spin-off television series The Emperor's New School.
Kuzco
Emperor Kuzco is the main protagonist of the first film and the TV series. He is the 18-year-old emperor of the Incas. He is initially portrayed as a selfish, vain and spoiled brat, but has a sense of flair and pizzazz. For example, when he is shown beautiful girls in hopes one of them will be his wife, he rudely insults all of them and continues to sing about himself and be pampered by his servants. His name is a reference to the ancient Incan city of Cuzco. Throughout the series, he turns into various animals.
In The Emperor's New Groove, Kuzco is turned into a llama by the evil Yzma, following her termination as his adviser. He is presumed dead, and finds himself lost in the jungle. Kuzco becomes friends with Pacha, a llama herder, who helps Kuzco turn back into a human again, regaining his humility and his throne. Kuzco learns the meaning of friendship and generosity throughout the film.
Taboo
A taboo is a vehement prohibition of an action based on the belief that such behavior is either too sacred or too accursed for ordinary individuals to undertake, under threat of supernatural punishment. Such prohibitions are present in virtually all societies. The word has been somewhat expanded in the social sciences to strong prohibitions relating to any area of human activity or custom that is sacred or forbidden based on moral judgment and religious beliefs. "Breaking a taboo" is usually considered objectionable by society in general, not merely a subset of a culture.
Etymology
The term "taboo" comes from the Tongan tapu or Fijian tabu ("prohibited", "disallowed", "forbidden"), related among others to the Maori tapu, Hawaiian kapu, Malagasy fady. Its English use dates to 1777 when the British explorer James Cook visited Tonga. Describing the cultural practices of the Tongans, he wrote:
The term was translated to him as "consecrated, inviolable, forbidden, unclean or cursed".Tabu itself has been derived from alleged Tongan morphemes ta ("mark") and bu ("especially"), but this may be a folk etymology (note that Tongan does not actually have a phoneme /b/), and tapu is usually treated as a unitary, non-compound word inherited from Proto-Polynesian *tapu, in turn inherited from Proto-Oceanic *tabu, with the reconstructed meaning "sacred, forbidden". In its current use on Tonga, the word tapu means "sacred" or "holy", often in the sense of being restricted or protected by custom or law. On the main island, the word is often appended to the end of "Tonga" as Tongatapu, here meaning "Sacred South" rather than "Forbidden South".
Taboo (Don Omar song)
"Taboo" is the second single from Don Omar's collaborative album Meet the Orphans released in January 24, 2011 through Universal Latino. The song is re-adapted version from Los Kjarkas's song "Llorando se fue" most commonly known for its use in Kaoma's 1989 hit single "Lambada" fused with Latin beats. The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Latin Songs, becoming his third number one single on the chart.
Background
A low-quality preview of the song was posted on October 19, 2009 planned to be included on the now-unreleased album iDon 2.0, the re-release of his 2009 album iDon. The album was never released, and in 2010 the song was mastered and included on Meet the Orphans.
Critical reception
Brian Voerding from Aol Radio Blog said that the song "It's a down-and-dirty dance number that melds traditional island rhythms with a techno-friendly undercurrent and bright synthesizer melodies. [...]" Omar, along with Daddy Yankee and others, is one of the primary faces and souls of Reggaeton, a relatively new term for music that blends reggae with contemporary hip-hop and electronic elements. received and award for "Urban Song of the Year" at the 2012 ASCAP Awards, which are awarded annually by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers in the United States.
Taboo (game)
Taboo is a word, guessing, and party game published by Parker Brothers in 1989 (subsequently purchased by Hasbro). The objective of the game is for a player to have their partners guess the word on the player's card without using the word itself or five additional words listed on the card.
The game is similar to Catch Phrase, also from Hasbro, in which a player tries to get his or her teammates to guess words using verbal clues. Taboo was later the basis for a 2002 game show of the same name on TNN (now Spike), hosted by comedian Chris Wylde.
Equipment
Some early editions include a board to track progress (as shown in the photo on this page), but current editions do not.
The second edition of the game, produced in 1994, has a round, pink squeaker, or hooter, instead of a buzzer, as do the 1993 and 1990 editions.
