“Music to drink by”

Dec 2019

This is a traditional music venue which seems to predate the tourist invasion. It had a five-piece son band when I was there, followed by a santeria performance. I was nursing a hangover but the fruit drinks are excellent!

“Salsa the night away”

Oct 2019

Man oh man I had so much fun learning how to salsa dance here. Our instructor was easy to follow, so by the end of the lesson we were able to do a proper salsa. There is a bar serving mojito's so during a break to catch our breath it was a welcome relief!

Wonderful Music

May 2016 • Friends

I really enjoyed the shows and the fact that it was less crowded was a bonus. Being Congolese, it was really nice experience to see the similarities in the dance moves and instrument being used while in Cuba.

A very real experience even with the rain

Feb 2018 • Couples

We spent a lively evening here listening to a fusion band of musicians. The bar drinks menu is eccentric to put it mildly but it didn't seem to matter especially given the low prices. The icing on the cake was us practising our Salsa moves on the cobble terrace in the rain!

Located in one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites / African Music & Dance

May 2016 • Friends

A demonstration & performance of afro-Cuban music & dance, this exhibition feels so authentic, rooted in tradition centuries old. The men & women dancers move to the beats of the conga drums. At the end our entire group was up on stage dancing with the performers. Great fun!!

This venue highlights the traditional music of the descendants of the African slaves brought to Cuba.

May 2016 • Friends

It gives a picture of the development of the music that defines Cuban music today. Very interesting and important for anyone interested in what makes Cuba special

A cultural extravaganza

Mar 2016 • Family

This place is a special place. In Palenque Royals Congos people are in contact with African culture that exist in Cuba. There are also classes Rumba and percussion.
It is a good choice for the night.

Fantastic show

Feb 2016 • Couples

A very good trio was playing when we arrived, but the best thing was the show of african percussion and dance that came after that. We enjoyed it enormously.

Loved It

Mar 2016 • Friends

eems that performances at the famous Casa De La Musica were not too exciting on the night we spent in Trinidad, so we entered the next club on the street - Palenque de los Congos Reales, and were thrilled with the music, the friendliness of the band and the atmosphere at the club.
Entrance is 1 CUC (1 Euro) and it was well worth each and every one of the 100 cents...
They invited people to the stage to participate and dance with the band. It was so exciting and we could hardly leave at midnight (since we were heading a long day the day after).
Very recommended!

Best place for Afro-Cuban and Rumba

Dec 2014 • Friends

Palenque is the best place to visit if you want to know the roots of Cuban music and the origins of their dances,for us is a must when we travel to Trinidad as we go every year with our dance school!
