    Salsa open diary

    Keep in mind that 50 years ago people said recorded music was soulless, now ai music is soulless. Maybe this ai revolution will return people to live music more.

    Is it normal for classmates to be toxic in beginner level classes?

    Thinking of heading here next weekend in Hamburg. I dislike doing first time events but it is convenient in terms of flight and hotel? Any positive chatter around your scenes? https://big3festival.com/

    I was at Brasov around six years ago and the Salsa Music was the worst I've heard my entire life. So much elevator music. I literally fell asleep waiting for good songs. Hopefully it has improved.

    I think it depends which hotel and organizer. At Bachaturo at the Sangate in summer I recall rooms going for half what they went for for El Sol at the same hotel. I assume the difference went to the organizers. In both cases the hotel was sold out. I doubt November is a bigger hotel month than...

    All stars in Budapest was a let down. Salsa was weak, general atmosphere was sleepy. Bachata had a good turnout but mostly boring remixes or tired songs. Not much festival atmosphere, on Friday the Bachata was in the lobby with full normal light, on Sunday Salsa was in a side room with the same...
