 In
Cuba's third largest city of Camag�ey, a trainer
instructs a group of young Salsa dancers with
enthusiasm.
A genre blended with
African rhythm and Spanish guitar, Salsa was
originally rooted from a song written by a Cuban
composer, Ignacia Pilerio, to protest the lack of
Cuban spices in the food he found in the United
States. While a Hispanic community was burgeoning in
Spanish Harlem, New York, dancers were called upon
to spice up the moves of Afro-Cuban dance rhythms,
to add "salsa" to their moves. |
