Salsa a parkban
This summer, the highly successful Salsa in the Park dance programme will entertain Latin music fans on the House of Music's outdoor stage in early autumn. In addition to the Budapest-based Son tres band, the free 2025 event will feature Latin sets by Jose Dj Cuba and dance lessons by Bea. DJ sets and orchestral blocks will alternate. Son tres has toured all over Europe, with artists from Venezuela, Cuba and Colombia bringing passionate and vibrant Latin rhythms to the audience. The members of Son tres guarantee a frenetic atmosphere at every party, playing bachata, salsa, cumbia, reggaeton and other Latin styles - this time with a focus on salsa, of course!
