Sweden Will Live November With Swing

3 events that will warm your days during winter

Going out on winter nights in Sweden (the fifth coldest country in Europe) can be a truly daunting task. Temperatures during the eleventh month of the year are around 5 °C during the day and 1 °C at night. Most people yearn for the scarce two hours of radiant sunshine a day, however, we bring you three Latin music events that accompany the beautiful northern lights that cover the sky during this date and that will make you vibrate and get warm during these days of lively freezing.

The Showtime with some of the best dancers in the world will start at 9 PM

We begin with a weekend full of Salsa parties with Hot Salsa Weekend, the largest Salsa and Bachata festival in Sweden will be celebrating its twentieth edition from November 4th to November 6th.

This festival will bring together dancers from the US, Italy, Mexico, Norway, and Stockholm. It will also feature inspiring workshops in Salsa L.A Style, Salsa On2, Salsa Cubana, and Bachata, impressive shows, and nightly parties accompanied by seven international and national DJs.

The workshops will take place on Friday from 4:30 PM at SSD Studio (Adolf Fredriks Kyrkogata 13, Stockholm) while on Saturday (11 AM) and Sunday (11 AM) they will take place in the beautiful building located in the heart of Stockholm Norra Latin (Drottninggatan 71b).

The themed parties (White Gala Party, Glitter & Glamor Gala Party, and Farewell Party) will take place from 10 PM to 5 AM on three dance floors (Salsa, Salsa Cubana & Bachata) at the Norra Latin a short distance from the central station Stockholm. Tickets for the three days of learning and fun are worth 2000 SEK. So get ready to be a part of Sweden’s biggest weekend party, Hot Salsa Weekend 2022. https://hotsalsaweekend.com/

Max Alton (Drums/Timbal), Raciel Garcés (Vocals), Rapson Espinosa (Vocals), Jonás Pomo (Piano), Homero Álvarez (Guitar), Aleks Brdarski (Bass), Rickard Valdés (Congas), Rickard Lindgren (Trumpet), Nikolas Viisanen (Trombone)

We continue with the Cuban band La Liga Habanera. This group formed 15 years ago in Havana (Cuba) has toured Europe and mainly has infected every corner of Sweden with its music. Its melody lies in a mixture of modern Cuban Timba with elements of traditional Son, Salsa, Soul, and Funk. The voices create a nuance that adorns the brass section that, together with the bass and the piano, recreates the Son montuno. The Havana League will be presented at the emblematic Fasching Club https://www.fasching.se (Kungsgatan 63, 111 22 Stockholm) on Friday, November 11th at 9 PM, and tickets are now available for 260 SEK (standing places). The age limit is 18 years.

The beginners’ course in Salsa starts at 4:30 PM

We end with the free dance party with Swing, Salsa, and Tango at the Merjeriet cultural center https://g.page/Mejeriet (Stora Södergatan 64, 222 23 Lund). This great event on Sunday, November 27th will now be free and open to all those over 13 years. The dance rhythms will range from an intense Salsa set through Lindy Hop (Swing) to Tango with surprises on stage and on the dance floor with three different DJs.

The evening will begin with workshops for each rhythm and three rounds of courses so you can try the three dance styles and choose the one you prefer. The party will be from 5:30 PM until 7 PM while the courses for beginners will be gradually every hour starting at 2:30 PM.

The Dance Party with Swing, Salsa, and Tango is organized in collaboration with the extensive program of new and recurring events in the center of Lund known as vinterlund https://vinterlund.se/

The main objective of this vast program is to fill the inhabitants of this city in the province of Scania with joy through cultural life during the dark winter months.
