Isla de Salsa ~World Beat Festival

A summer holiday in an exquisite oasis that’s just a 10-minute ferry ride away.
Dance and enjoy 8 hours non-stop performances by international artists.
Beach, Mojito, Great food and Best music!!

Concept

In Spanish, “salsa” means sauce. The ingredients for making the festival so rich come not only from the
professional international and local musicians who fill the air with sounds that inspire even the
uninitiated to dance, but also from every person who comes to spice up and savour the feast of activities,
contributing to enriching the “sauce” of the festival. Whether you spend the day listening to music,
dancing, sampling a variety of food, gazing at unique artistic works, or just sun bathing, why not go there
and get stirred into another world!

Fukuoka has received worldwide attention due to “Bachata en Fukuoka”

The King of Latin Music, Juan Luis Guerra, won the Grammy award in the Best Tropical
Song category for “Bachata en Fukuoka” at the 11th annual Latin Grammys in 2010.

[Line-up]
Elito Revé y su Charangón (2 days) from Cuba
Leading Cuban salsa band Elito Revé y su Charangón
will appear in Fukuoka!
Elito Revé has taken on the challenge of leading and
updating the sound of his father’s legendary
orchestra to secure its place at the forefront of
Havana’s dance scene as the “Steamroller of Cuba.”
He has drawn on the legacy of Elio Revé, who is
revered for popularizing the changüí sound of
Cuba’s Guantanamo region, and given it a fresher,
crisper modern sound that flattens a clear path
toward the dance floor for all.
