Yes, it´s all true! You are in for a real TREAT! We are extremely proud to present this amazing news for this years event: a Live Salsa Concert during the Friday Party, with Cuban band Tiempo Cuba, based in Denmark and Sweden. Additionally, they are inviting former singer from the legendary Cuban orquesta Adalberto Alvarez y su Son, Mantecao de Cuba, to join them. Get ready for an epic SalsaNor Rueda Congress 2026!
Nothing beats the magic of dancing to live music! When we dance to recorded music, we’re adapting to a fixed structure. When we dance to a live band, we are actually part of the song. Let us present the amazing musicians that will give us the ultimate dance experience above the Arctic Circle the 4th of September:
Tiempo Cuba is a dynamic musical group founded in 2017 by Cuban musicians residing in Nordic countries. The band brings the vibrant spirit of Cuban music to international audiences, blending deep roots in traditional Cuban genres with the influence of contemporary Cuban music trends.
🎶 Repertoire & Style
Tiempo Cuba’s performances showcase a broad spectrum of Cuban music—from the timeless sounds of son, guaracha, and bolero, to more modern styles like timba, Latin jazz, and Afro-Cuban fusion. Their sound captures both the authenticity of Cuba’s musical heritage and the innovation of the island’s evolving musical scene.
Also, they have invited s Special Guest, a true sonero with that powerful voice and impressive improvisation abilities, Mantecao de Cuba. He was the vocal singer of the legendary orquesta Adalberto Alvares y su Son for over a decade, and has been living in Norway for several years now.
Well, we think this is the stuff unforgettable Rueda Congress memories are made of. And hope you agree! Still a few passes and hotel rooms left if you are still considering. This is an edition not to be missed.
Can´t wait to see you all, in…less than 100 days!
