Alexander, Can you give a summary of the history of salsa?
Alexander.
Jimi, good afternoon. Salsa is a rhythm, but also a musical movement. It arises from the mix of Latin culture with life in New York. Chronologically Salsa originated in the 30's. From New York, salsa quickly expanded to Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Dominican Republic, Mexico and other countries. This new style became a symbol of pride and cultural identity for Latinos and remains to this day around the world.

Cheo, as a Salsa singer: What do you like your profession and you dislike it? And people, how do you think they feel when they listen to salsa?
Cheo Feliciano.
I love being a singer, so singing is not my profession but my life. Singing I've developed my spirit and my intellect. I do not like to feel superior, but people have many prejudices of one.
People who listen to my songs of salsa music, I wish them to be identified and feel happy, they also generate these thoughts and good ideas.
I also like singing a song, this is like my philosophy of life. The song is called: John Mason, could we hear?
Jimi Salcedo.
Of course, Cheo.
Cheo Feliciano.
Good.
Jimi Salcedo.
Poncho And you, how long have you been playing the drums? And what kind of music do you like besides the salsa?
Poncho Sánchez.
I play the congas for forty years. Every day I practice music and continue playing the congas until I die. I like various genres: Lantin-Jazz, Son Cubano, Caribbean music. I also admire the batteries of rock music but I do not practice this genre.
I am an autodidact. I've always wanted to be one of the greatest Latin jazz percussionists. I grew up in Norwalk California. As a child I play the guitar, flute, drums and timbales. Then I fell in love to play congas.
