SUMMARY:La Epoca - The True Soul of Salsa
DESCRIPTION:La Época — The True Soul of Salsa returns on Saturday 27 June 2
 026 to Hotel Arena at 's-Gravesandestraat 51 in Amsterdam-Oost\, next to O
 osterpark. For the salsa purists among us: this is the night where 'salsa 
 brava' isn't a genre but an experience. La Época has long been known for s
 erving up the old\, raw\, honest salsa — the salsa of Fania\, of the 1970s
 \, of Hector Lavoe\, Willie Colón and the Cuban classics.\n\nThe line-up f
 or this largest-ever edition is a love letter to the genre: DJ Juanpachang
 a spins salsa brava on vinyl (worth a night out on its own)\, followed by 
 a fiery live set from the Gerardo Rosales Quinteto Latino — Venezuelan mas
 ter percussionist with a band that brings the history of salsa to life on 
 stage. A dance show by Cali Baila brings the Colombian salsa fire\, and th
 e whole night carries that unmistakable La Época vibe: old-and-new\, dark\
 , intense\, dance-floor-focused.\n\nDoors at 22:00\, party until 03:00. Ti
 ckets via hotelarena.nl — buy in advance\, these editions sell out. For th
 ose used to modern Cuban salsa or timba: this is a different side of the g
 enre\, with more room for partner work in the classic salsa styles (Cuban 
 casino\, son\, and LA alternate on the floor). Intermediate to advanced le
 vel\; the music asks for dancers who recognise the old clave.\n\nDress cod
 e: stylish. Hotel Arena invites something more elegant — a nice shirt\, a 
 dress\, dance shoes. The venue is a former chapel interior and you can fee
 l it. Getting there: tram 1\, 7 or 19 (stop Oosterpark/Korte 's-Gravesande
 straat)\, or a 10-minute cycle from the city centre. Book your ticket and 
 come for the soul of salsa.
