View of the Mirabell Palace with the background of the cathedral and the Fortress in Salzburg, Austria — Mirabell Palace in Salzburg, Austria

Salzburg is one of the most beautiful and charming cities in Central Europe. Its Historic Center was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996, which attracted a greater number of international tourists a year.
One of the most visited places in this Austrian city is the Mirabell Palace. This magnificent seat was built in 1606 by Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich. Its wonderful view of the cathedral and the imperious castle together with the perfectly manicured rose gardens makes it an extremely photogenic place. Access to the Mirabell Palace is free but a large part of its spaces are closed to the general public.
In Salzburg, you will also come across the “Mozart Birthplace” museum located on one of the main avenues. Here you will find the piano with which Mozart made his compositions, scores, and other personal belongings. The cost of entry does not exceed 10 euros.
And the place that most attracts visitors to Austria daily is the Hohensalzburg Fortress. It is located on a small hill in the heart of Salzburg. It was built in 1077 and has only received modifications dating back to 1500. The curious thing about this castle is that it never was taken by its enemies, and today it is one of the most preserved fortresses in Europe.

Everything You Always Wanted To Know About La Macumba

The Number One Latin Music Bar In The Czech Republic

Couple dressed in black dancing in La Macumba, Prague — La Macumba opens its doors from Monday to Saturday from 5:00 PM to 4:00 AM

Experts say that La Macumba is the Latin bar chosen by tourists as the number one among the best places for fun with Afro-Caribbean music to visit in the capital of the Czech Republic.

Every day (except Sundays) are days of continuous eleven-hour parties (from 5:00 PM to 4:00 AM) in a Cuban atmosphere and at the cost for admission of approximately five euros.

Saturday nights are the busiest days, thus it is recommended to go before 11:00 PM to dance on the dance floor having a great space. Likewise, to order your favorite cocktail you don’t need to know the Czech language because the bartenders are Cuban and speak Spanish, so your fun will never disappear neither an instant.

To attend La Macumba you must wear casual clothing and not carry excess belongings because inside there is little space to sit and leave them. The environment is designed with an American car from the 50s, there is an area allusive to the streets of Havana, and added to this, all the decoration includes the illusion of beaches and palm trees of the Cuban capital, so your stay in the bar will be one of the fastest trips you will make to Havana in one night.

The recommended minimum limit to have fun inside the Latin bar is two hours due to a large number of activities, the best DJs in Prague mixing the greatest hits of Latin music (DJ Alejandro, DJ Chocolino, DJ Lázaro, DJ Mario, and DJ El Rey), theme parties with a program and demonstrations several times a week, and various instructors who teach amateurs and enthusiasts to move to the Salsa rhythm.

The owners of the Macumba are the dancer Mandy Valdés and Robert Šmítek.

Mandy is a Cuban immigrant with many years of experience as an instructor in the Czech Republic. He was one of the first Salsa teachers in the country and many of today’s teachers were his students. Mandy in addition to the Salsa, teaches Cha-Cha, Merengue, and Bachata. Also, he played percussion in various Cuban bands and still performs occasionally.

Mandy can convey a love for Salsa and dance techniques with patience and humor. He is aware that each learner assimilates the lessons at his/her speed, so he generates an individual approach throughout the teaching stage.

His classes are based on mastering the basic movements that should look elegant and natural. “You won’t see so many variations dancing in Cuba, but the dancers are incredible and sensual. And that’s what Hot Salsa is all about. Salsa is not science, it’s fun”. Mandy commented.

On the one hand, Robert began dancing at 16 years old in dance clubs in the country. He has been a champion in dance performance since 1999, Czech vice-champion, a semi-finalist at the World Championships. He won the Cup in Torino (Italy) and first place in the Salsa championship of the Czech Republic in 2002, just to mention some of his greatest successes.

Saúl Delhom “Esta Salsa me gusta” one of the things I like the most is to learn, create and share

Saul Delhom this Salsa I like is one of the things I like the most is to learn, create and share.

Each DJ brings in his own way a vision of salsa and a very interesting sector contributing to the cultural richness.

Musical themes are like some smells, they are capriciously anchored to certain moments of our life and when you experience them again they are able to make you travel in time in an instant, have you experienced it? A salsa, a son, a mambo.

Just by listening to the first bars, for some reason your skin bristles, and memories cascade. That is the basis of this book, a very simple idea: What salsa do you like?

Within the salsa world, there is a group that rarely receives the recognition it deserves.

Each DJ. He brings in his own way a vision of salsa and a very interesting sector contributing to the cultural richness — Saúl Delhom “Esta Salsa me Gusta DJs Edition”

They are those who work with thousands of musical themes before their eyes and hands pass hundreds of albums, who select the ones you like and also the ones you still don’t know you like, for me they are salsa sommeliers, or more popularly: DJs.

I contacted DJs from different parts of the world and asked them variants of the initial question: What salsa do you like? What song do you have a memory associated with? What song attracts you musically? The result of their answers is this condensed book made up of all these wonderful stories and anecdotes from nearly one hundred DJs, whether for sentimental or purely musical reasons.

The format of the book is just right so as not to be distracted by frills, where the person and what he tells is the important thing. For that reason, it has a peculiar orientation, more common in calendars, since it opens from bottom to top, instead of right to left. I wanted to layout it with that orientation because that way, while you are reading the text, you have the photograph at the top, as if it were behind the book talking to you, always present, centered, and not on a displaced side. It is a detail that is perhaps too subtle but that I considered important.

Another feature, already common in many of my music-related books, is that on each page you can find a Spotify app code to scan and listen to the song. In addition to the stories, I have discovered many interesting topics with this book!

I felt really privileged to be the first person to read all the texts that have been sent to me.

Each DJ brings in his own way a very interesting vision of salsa and the industry, providing cultural richness.

I was also delighted to see the diversity in terms of the type of stories, from a song that fondly remembers a mother, to the technical analysis of composition and the reason for its enjoyment. And as for another type of diversity, I have tried to have as many women as possible, although it is true that we are already starting from a lower percentage.

Already at the beginning of the book, I apologize for leaving hundreds of women out of it, either for lack of time or lack of knowledge on my part and for that reason, in addition to the fantastic support from the collective, I have decided to start with another book that will be the continuation of this first volume. Stay tuned because it will soon be published!
