Salsa
Salsa
is a musical genre popularized by Cuban
and Puerto Rican performers in the twentieth
century during the 1960s and 1970s.
The style was popular among Cuban and
Puerto Rican immigrants in New York City,
and its popularity spread all over the world,
including Japan, where concerts sell out.
Some famous Puerto Rican
salsa
performers
are Tito Puente (1923–2000), Eddie Palmieri
(born in 1936), and Ray Barreto (1929–2006).
The word
salsa
means “sauce,” which reflects
the mix of flavors that come into play in this
style of music.
Puerto Ricans and the United States
Puerto Ricans not only include people born on
the Caribbean island but also those born and
raised in the United States. The immigrant
population from Puerto Rico in the United
States is sometimes referred to as
New
Yorricans
(or
Nuyoricans
) because a large
percentage of the immigrants have come to
live and work in New York.
Most Puerto Ricans are descendants of
Europeans,
Taínos
, and Africans. Puerto Rican
culture reflects this mix in its cuisine, its
music, its language, and its spiritual practices.
