Europe / Germany / Munich

10 The Cuban Salsa Festival Germany, Munich 27 Jan 2017 – 29 Jan 2017
10 The Cuban Salsa Festival Germany, Munich 27 Jan 2017 – 29 Jan 2017

In January 2017, Munich will be able to experience a high class weekend full of dance and music, again. Inspired by “Baila en Cuba”, the annual dance and music event in Havanna (Cuba), we brought this festival to life. And moreover we want to import a part of the wonderful atmosphere of its big Cuban counterpart to Munich.

With the 10th “El Festival Salsa Cubana” We will continue our legendary winter festival series. Salsa Cubana is more than a dance – it’s an attitude towards life! Who does not inevitably associate typical Cuban music, Cuban ambience and Son Cubano (the most traditional of all Cuban dances) with these words?

Festival Salsa Cubana stands for this very diversity. No matter if dancer, music lover or just fancier of the Caribbean atmosphere – you will get your money’s worth!

Cuban atmosphere and total joy of life!

  • Top event for all dancers in and around Munich!
  • Salsa, Afro, Reggaeton and a lot more!
  • Great party with show acts!
  • Taster’s session Salsa Cubana
  • Rueda de Casino: Dancing Salsa with other couples in a circle. Nice combinations with the exchange of the dance partners provide pure fun!
  • Up to 50 workshops with best in class instructors
  • For all dancers and future dancers a “must do”: authentic teaching with guest instructors! From beginner to master class!
  • Awesome and high class parties and show acts!

Eduardo Paim

LIVE IN CONCERT

Special Guest!

Music producer

Eduardo Paim
Eduardo Paim

Eduardo Paim has proved not only a performer but also a composer and music producer from multiple sources. It should be noted that the music producer, record producer also known, is the figure responsible for the completion of a recording that is considered finalized for release.

In this sense the process of the first productions of Eduardo Paim has included recording, advice from musicians, writing, including the supervision of the mixing process and can be considered the pioneer in the use of synthesizers and other similar procedures, as the box rhythms, learning who had the undeniable contribution of techniques already dominated by Ruca Van-Dunem.

Is that too much, that the musical aesthetics of Eduardo Paim, as producer, had great importance in the careers of singers and important in the course of Angolan popular music itself, later.

Eduardo Paim - 2
Eduardo Paim – 2

Paul Flores, Diabik, Clara Miller, Nelo Paim (the promising younger brother Eduardo Paim) Mamborró, Tchipa Jacinto Moniz de Almeida, Tropical Band and Van-Dúnem Ruca, we cite the most important, are examples of the influence and focus Radiator keys Eduardo Paim, whose electronic sound, has undergone a substantial part of the music of the past twenty years.

The early career of Paul Flores had the production and contribution of Eduardo Paim. Topics such as: “Cheri”, “Kapuete kamundanda” and “This wedding is” the first compositions of Paul Flores, resulted from an invitation by Carlos Eduardo Paim Open Flores, father of Paul Flores.

Discography

Eduardo Paím

Also known as General Kambuengo (stubborn, resolute), Eduardo Paim has obtained during his career, three discs of gold and silver awards granted for publishing Portuguese, assigned by the sum of fifty thousand copies sold, with the albums “Kambwengo” (1994), “From kayaya” (2002), and “There is still time” (1996).

The song “Baila Rose” from the album “Kambwengo,” one of the paradigms of discography Eduardo Paim, which portrays the typical Angolan woman, was in the charts of Radio Television Portugal (RTP) for months.

Nossa Kizomba. International Amsterdam Festival 2016 con Eduardo Paim- Flyers

“Luanda my band” (1990), “Mujimbos” (1998), and “Maruvo Cup” (2006), is a whole album, more than twenty year career. His latest CD, much more involved, was contributed by singers such as Fernando Girão, Nancy Vieira, Bonga, Vote Gonçalves, Don Caetano, Angelo Boss, Black, and Matias Damasio Bué. The CD “Luanda my band,” proved, likewise, a success unprecedented in the career of Eduardo Paim, an album that aligns the themes: “My Neighbor,” “Kutonoca,” “It’s So Good” “Luanda My Band”, “Sound of the Band,” “Nagibo” and “Kizombada.”

On this record, Eduardo Paim has worked with the Guinean guitarist and singer Justin Delgado Guilherme Silva, a Mozambican artist who has shared the stage with artists such as Julio Iglesias, Tina Turner, Juan Luis Guerra, Cesaria Evora, Tito Paris and Rui Veloso.

Eduardo Paim – 3

The economy of instrumental means, one of the merits of Eduardo Paim, in close collaboration with guitarist Simmons Mancini, revealed itself as one of the strategies of this album, as well as the use of synthesizers, whose functionality was ultimately the only recourse at that time.

For an artist with a long artistic career, Eduardo Paim argues that “when you have no followers, you do not reach the target, but when there are many, we can lose ourselves among those who follow us.”
