Politics of Rhythm

Sorry for the long hiatus. It has been a while since I have written or made posts in this website about Salsa in general. But please tune in every couple of days because I will post some interesting videos or articles. Let’s get back into the swing of things with this video.

“Politics of Rhythm is a chronicle of the Salsa Movement, brought to life through the accounts of numerous Salsa Players, whose experiences and knowledge provide a rich tapestry of culture and politics. ”

Feat. Willie Colon Papo Lucca, Oscar De Leon, Eddie Palmieri, Larry Harlow, Ruben Blades, Cheo Feliciano… just to name a few Salsa musicians. And let’s not even talk about the dancers!
