Review:
‘A high-energy exploration of Puerto Rico’s influence on salsa’ - The Independent
Description:
Puerto Rico has become home to some of the most dynamic rhythms in the world. The Rough Guide To Salsa De Puerto Rico traces the genre’s development both in Puerto Rico and the Nuyorican communities of the United States. This collection showcases its most innovative musicians, featuring the music of some of the biggest salsa legends, and also follows how the island’s folkloric styles (such as bomba and plena) were instrumental in the development of salsa.
