"Salsa" presentation

September 19, 2012 from 7:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m.

This event traces the roots and development of Salsa beginning with the manufacture and use of percussion by the Africans, through the slave trade to the Caribbean colonies and into contemporary American ethno-musical culture. The African continuity of Salsa manifests itself through singing, dancing and drumming; an African method of communication to their deities. The mandatory African call-response singing and dancing and matri-lineal percussion system is unique to Salsa and exists in no other American musical genre.
