Salsa in the Park
This programme is held in Hungarian.
The highly popular Salsa in the Park dance program will once again entertain fans of Latin music this summer and early autumn on the Open-Air Stage of the House of Music. At the free events in 2026, the program will be expanded, alongside the Budapest-based Son tres band, with Latin sets by Jose Dj Cuba and dance teaching by Bea. The DJ sets and live band blocks will alternate. Son tres have already toured all over Europe; among the members of the band are artists with Venezuelan, Cuban and Colombian roots, who bring passionate and vibrant Latin rhythms to the audience. The members of Son tres guarantee a fantastic atmosphere at every party as they play bachata, salsa, cumbia, reggaeton and other Latin styles – this time, of course, with a focus on salsa!
Guillermo Macsotay, singer and bandleader, was born in Venezuela to a Hungarian father and Venezuelan mother. He pursued his musical studies in Venezuela at the ArsNova school, as well as in the United States and Hungary, achieving success with various salsa and fusion bands. He is one of the best Hungarian fusion pianists, a graduate of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest, who took his first steps in the band of Aladár Pege, where he played as a professional pianist for more than 15 years. Today he is not only specialized in Latin music, but also has two solo albums. Angel Miguel León Cruz, a Cuban percussionist with a long career, originally began his path at the Austria-based, world-renowned Havana Son Club, with which he travelled the world representing Cuban culture. Aldober Acevedo, Colombian bass guitarist, composer and musician, has had a long career in bands such as Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz, as well as Grupo Niche. At the end of the 1990s he moved to Asia, where he played in Thailand, China and the Southeast Asian region; he now lives in Budapest. For this performance, the trio will be joined by pianist Zsolt Koloncsák.
