@thesilencer2551. Salsa was develop by cubans, puertoricans, and dominicans. Its called salsa because it was a mix of bachata, merengue, and wawanco. Johnny Pacheco ( a Dominican artist) was one of the main characters when this took place.
@ulisofe I have been dancing son for a few years and I can tell you this is not quite contra tiempo a lo Cubano. It's similar (perhaps even based on contra tiempo), but not quite the same.
@ulisofe Listen, it's obvious to me that you are Cuban and I can bet my right hand that you are from South Florida as well. Miami Cubans don't know anything about Salsa or what happened when the Cuban immigrants took Cuban music and the Cuban dance styles to New York. Salsa was created in New York by both Cubans and Puerto Ricans. Yes it was heavily influenced by Cuban music, but the Puerto Ricans had a major influence on the Genra as well.
@ulisofe If you ask the Cubans that live up north in the New England area they don't argue this, but the Cuban exiles in Miami have a grief over it for some reason. For you to claim that the music genra Salsa doesn't exist because it was influenced by Cuban music is ridiculous. It's ridiculous because all genres of music were influenced by other genres of music. If you were to take a music class in college then you would understand that this is called the evolution of music.
@ulisofe That's like saying Heavy Metal music is not a genre because Heavy Metal came from rock and rock came first. All musicians that start new genres are influenced by other musicians. Salsa wasn't something that was invented out of thin air. Son musicians were influenced by the music of Spain and the African drum patterns and you know what there's nothing wrong with that. The Salsa music and dance that originated NEW YORK is amazing is both Cuban and Puerto Rican.
@ulisofe You have no idea what you're talking about, learn the history of salsa dancing before you say anything, stop being so closed minded and dance something else besides rueda.
I love how he quickly explains why we count. Most people just want to street dance to salsa. That's not dancing. You have to respect the conga, the clave, and the culture.
I dance on the conga all of the time, and this video shows the same step for On1, On2PR and On2NY. My conclusion: same quick ,quick, slow step, but One You start forward and On2NY You start backwards, and so is the counting. Conga is and always will have 4 beats. This people try to confuse beginers by coming with the same step, the same conga, but diferent counting. I suggest You listen to the conga and and dance from it. That's what I do, and I can dance on any On2NY,On2PR AND On1LA .
This is method allows more freedom to add turns and steps. Looks so much more elegant as well. Whoever doesn't know this method needs to try it so they can see the light!
I had listen to a few method out there, and they did a good job, but the Eddie Torres Timing Cd is the one that will help any one to get tempo the right way..
Hey CHILENO VENGADOR if you get Eddie's tempo CD you will listen to what you refer.. he does have 2 exercise on this CD , 2-3 clave and 3-2 clave..
I thanks Eddie for for this method of learning the tempo in music.. great job *****
This tutorial its ok... but... the rithim... its not the traditional from cuba... witch has.. the "clave" with tah u can help your self with te times in salsa..
This in one of the best videos out there to get the beat count for on 2.
After hearing this you should just try picking it out hearing salsa songs. Practice, practice and more practice before you are able to hear the beat naturally, in tne mean time just dance and enjoy.
