Salsa in the park
The highly successful Salsa in the Park dance program will entertain Latin music fans this summer, in early autumn, on the Open-Air Stage of the House of Music. In addition to the Son tres ensemble in Budapest at the free events of 2026, Jose Dj Cuba's Latin sets and Bea's dance teaching expand the program. The DJ sets and orchestral blocks will take turns. Son tres has toured all over Europe, with members of the band including artists with Venezuelan, Cuban and Colombian roots who bring passionate and vibrant Latin rhythms to the audience. Son tres members guarantee a ferocious atmosphere at every party, while playing bachata, salsa, cumbia, reggaeton and other Latin styles – this time with focus on salsa, of course!
