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.

In this Latin bar, you can taste varieties of traditional Cuban drinks as well as cocktails

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.
