Latin rhythms reach corners of Europe every day where it would never have been thought that these genres could be heard, much less danced. In this case, we have that Bachata is reaching unthinkable borders such as Switzerland, which is why the next Bachata Fusion Festival 2023 Carnival Edition will take place in the city of Winterthur in the Zurich region, during February. Know the details in the following lines.
This festival is a continuation of the one that took place in November, a way to close Winter and begin Spring. It was the first festival dedicated exclusively to bachata, which was organized in Switzerland in the entire dance history of this country. And after that mega success it had, there was no reason not to organize another soon.
This edition will be dedicated to Carnival, a festival that is traditionally celebrated during the month of February in the Caribbean and South American countries. And when it comes to Latin rhythms, Carnival is a perfect concept to show them. That is why the organizers decided to carry out the Fusion with this premise but as always with the central axis of bachata.
As in the previous edition, the Carnival one will feature the best international artists, who in turn will attract the best dancers from all over Europe and other borders. But there is no need to be a professional dancer to enjoy the complete package that this festival offers. If you like Latin rhythms and even want to learn to dance next to the best dancers, this is your cue.
Confirmed artists include:
The organizers at GO&Dance have left the prices of the packages and everything they offer. Prices range from €65 to €240, with various discounts depending on the package, and the days of reservation, remember that the closer the date is, there will be fewer opportunities for discounts or promotions. But from this moment Winterthur awaits you with open arms.
Switzerland is a country located in the heart of Europe. It is very marked by its magnificent natural landscapes where the star is the central mountain range of the Alps. Its cities are must-see places on the continent, from Zurich, one of the most dynamic, to Winterthur, where culture takes center stage.
But there’s a lot to do in Winterthur while visiting for the festival. Just 30 minutes from Zurich, it has the largest continuous pedestrian zone in Europe, museums that house masterpieces of European art between the 14th and 20th centuries. Even presentations in the middle of the street, and a wide range of festivals since culture is the main thing in this city.
Despite not having the cosmopolitan air of many European cities, Winterthur has its own identity which makes it unique in the eyes of the visitor. And an excellent place to carry out the Bachata Fusion Festival 2023 Carnival Edition, this February will be a month highly anticipated by all.

I felt like I had a lot to say because of all the experiences I had during 2020. After the personal process that I went through, I feel more connected to myself and my imperfections… Embrace everything I hear, everything I touch, including mistakes, is more significant than perfection”. Aldana exposed in her biography
12 Stars was recorded under the Blue Note label and released on the music market on March 4th. “I feel super privileged, but I had a feeling that this had to happen at some point. I’ve been very consistent with my band and my projects for a long time. I am very motivated for what comes next”. Aldana expressed to an international digital medium.
