AKA Chem

The Cheetah Club, NYC, August 26 1971

A group of musicians got together and started to play. At the beginning, it was horrible: too many egos pulling in too many ways.
Eventually, a weird rhythm started to emerge, discipline kicked in, and the music settled.

Salsa was born, and it set on fire everything it reached.

Now, almost 40 years later, I'm curious, in this age of Internet media and loopers, mixers, samplers, DNA sequencers, jazz, dub, club, digital pirates, lasers, flying bullets, fluorescent bunnies, etc. How would music done this way sound like?

I don't want to listen to it.

I want to make it.
