Salsa
Salsa is a dynamic, high-energy genre that fuses Afro-Cuban rhythms, Latin American instrumentation, and passionate vocals to create an infectious, danceable sound. Emerging in the 1960s and 1970s in New York City's Latinx communities, salsa drew from traditional Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Colombian music, incorporating percussion-heavy ensembles, brass sections, and virtuosic piano solos. Characterized by complex polyrhythms, improvisational flair, and emotive vocal delivery, salsa's golden era saw widespread popularity in the 1980s, with its cultural significance extending beyond music to represent Latinx identity and community. Salsa's unique blend of Afro-Caribbean and Latin American influences sets it apart from other tropical genres, while its eclectic fusion of styles has influenced a range of musical traditions, from jazz and rock to tropical and Latin pop.
