: Salsa is not only the captivating music we hear and dance to today. It is a social and cultural movement that exploded in the early 70’s, primarily in New York City. It was a search for identity for Latin New Yorkers and during that process became a way of life. Through a series of efforts to promote Latin music at that time, Salsa seemed to be the concept that best captured the meaning, feeling, and soul of Afro-Cuban/Latin music. Fania records put together some of the best singers and musicians of that era creating what is known as the Fania All-Stars. With numerous sold out concerts, Fania All-Stars where very influential in having the term Salsa catch on not only in New York and the U.S, but throughout the world.
