We’ll start with an easy, all-levels salsa lesson led by Soul2Sole — perfect if you’re brand new or just want to warm up and meet some people. Then, the night heats up with La Pambelé, a high-energy nine-piece salsa band bringing the spirit of 1970s salsa to life with a fresh, modern twist. Once they start playing, it’ll be hard to stay off the dance floor!

About La Pambelé
La Pambelé is a salsa brava orchestra redefining Colombia’s tropical and alternative music landscape by revisiting the sonic traditions of 1970s salsa brava while infusing them with contemporary lyrical narratives. Their sound bridges nostalgia and modernity, what one of Colombia’s leading media outlets described as “a new approach to old-school salsa.” The ensemble’s nine musicians bring together a rich instrumentation: piano, congas, flute, trumpet, timbales, trombone, bongó, cowbell, baby bass and vocals, crafting a dynamic performance designed to move both body and soul. In 2025, the band released reinterpretations of Colombian classics La Burrita and La Pava Congona. Their sophomore album, Nací Mestizo (2024), further solidified their artistic vision, following their 2022 self-titled debut, which introduced the group to international audiences and led to the release of both 45” and LP vinyl editions.
