For the festival\u2019s 20th anniversary it\u2019s heading back to Nokonoshima Island, where the first few Isla de Salsa festivals took place all those years ago. With a stunning lineup of music and dance performances by international artists, you\u2019ll be salsa-ing in the sand long into the evening. The headliner is salsa orchestra Tromboranga; this band uses trombones, strong percussion and \u201csoneos\u201d (voice improvisation among the chorus) to create raw and danceable music! The island is just a 10-minute ferry ride from Meinohama, but attendees can also opt to book a space in one of the communal bungalows (\u00a52,500 per person). Whether you spend the day listening to music, dancing, sampling a variety of food, gazing at unique artworks, riding a banana boat or just sunbathing, why not spice up your summer with Isla de Salsa?<\/p>\n
