SALSA
Latin Music of New York and The Caribbean
Salsa captures a unique moment in time for this most exuberant and socially dynamic music.
Filmed entirely on location in New York and the Caribbean in 1979, a momentous year for the genre, Salsa, presents some of Latin musics greatest exponents, framed within a broader canvas of the musics history, growth and importance.
Tito Puente and his band play in the Bronx; Celia Cruz rehearses Cuban dance songs in a New York studio; Rubén Blades plays Puerto Rican ballads and records with Willie Colón and his band; Ray Barretto plays percussion at a Latin wedding while Charlie Palmieri plays keyboards and describes the rhythms of Cuba and Puerto Rico. The film also features Santeria cults, rare Cuban archive footage, and music of the barrios: from the dance floors of the South Bronx to the streets of La Perla, Puerto Rico. Tying it all together is Felipe Luciano, poet and former leader of the Young Lords Gang.
Salsa is part of director Jeremy Marres multi award-winning series Beats of the Heart which includes Roots Rock Reggae, and Rhythm of Resistance: Black Music of South Africa.

The Young Lords Party and Young Lords Organization were community organizers from 1968-1976. The Young Lords Organization evolved from a "street gang" into community organizers.
Neither group was a "gang."
