Customer Reviews
4.8La Rumba III was a wonderful way to spend a sunny Saturday in Oxford. The musicians were fantastic and the venue as well. I was impressed by the different performances. The food was not bad, but there is room for improvement. I hope this event continues in coming years, as this is exactly what Oxford needs for the Latin American and Spanish speakers.
My friends and I had a lovely time!! Great food and amazing music :)
I loved the bands, the dancing area and the beef BBQ they were selling was great
I had a brilliant time, it was great fun, good live music, there was food, dancing, people smiling, what’s not to like? Roll on next time!
It was amazing well done to the team.
I loved the event. The bands were phenomenal. I didn’t stay for the dj—just too tired after all the day’s dancing!
It felt like there was more space outside, with the first Cumbia band. The only ‘issue’ was that there just wasn’t enough space for the crowds to dance easily. But, we did our best! Thank you for an amazing day!
The event was very well organised., with high quality musicians. I had such a great time at James tavern. Price couldn't have been more affordable.
I'm definitely looking forward to the next event.
Thank you organisers!!
I had a fantastic day! The Latin vibes were off the charts—salsa dancing, live music, mouthwatering food, and a DJ who kept the energy sky-high. But the absolute highlight? Jamming out with the Jesús Cutiño Band! His talent, charm, and rhythm lit up the whole place. The whole experience was pure joy, and I loved every second of it. Can’t wait to come back next year for round two!
