حول

حقائق سريعة: Salsa legends like Celia Cruz and Rubén Blades have their stage costumes and instruments on display here. Over 50 years of salsa history are packed into a single house that draws music lovers from every corner of the globe.

النقاط البارزة: One room recreates the exact wooden dance floor from the legendary Juanchito nightclub La Quebrada, complete with scuff marks from countless all-night dance sessions. You can actually feel the slight bounce in the floorboards that made dancers move differently than on concrete.
