WHAT IS SALSA?

The term translates to English as "sauce" to denote music that spices and enlivens things.
But not just any music. It is a complex musical mixture from many roots that evolves into a uniquely sound.

It could be said that "salsa" is primarily a commercial tag for contemporary Latin pop music that connotes a feeling that sums up the variety of redefined and reinterpreted styles at its roots.

It encompasses a broad range of musical genres, instrumental combinations and cultural influences, ranging from African Yoruba & Bantu ritual, Cuban son montuno, Puerto Rican bomba and plena, Dominican merengue, Afro-American jazz and rhythm and blues, etc.
