Salsa at the park
The Salsa in the Park dance programme, which has been running with great success since summer 2022, will entertain fans of Latin music on the open-air stage of the House of Music again this year. This year's events will feature the Budapest-based band Son tres, which has toured all over Europe.
The band includes artists with Venezuelan, Cuban and Colombian roots, bringing passionate and vibrant Latin rhythms to the audience. The members of Son tres guarantee a frenetic atmosphere at every party as they play bachata, salsa, cumbia, reggaeton and other Latin styles - this time with a focus on salsa, of course!
