It’s time to put your salsa and cumbia classes to the test! The capital’s authorities have confirmed the Gran Baile Sonidero 2026 in the Zócalo of Mexico City, and we couldn’t be more excited to give it our all in the Plancha.
The party will be led by 12 sounds from different generations: more than 30 years, 15 to 29 years, and less than 15 years of experience in the world of sonideros.
On this occasion,Sonido Cóndor will be the special guest, and a tribute will be paid to their career. Migrant sonideros and sonideras will also perform, opening the event.
When will the Grand Dance of Sonideros and Sonideras take place?
