Salsa can be 100% Cuban or if you want, like any other music, you can include other styles as part of the arrangement so that you create a bit of diversity. That way you make it more interesting to the listener. That is one of the reason good styles never grow to be boring, even one hundred years after they were created.
Did you know that Mick Jagger used the Son clave in some of his songs? Even famous classical composers of the passed mixed styles up.
@jayroo10 I agree, this is in Puerto Rico not Cuba. We have a different style like any other Latin American country or community who have developed their own style. They all are valid and good as long as they do it with passion and "mucho sabor"
@latinireland, as we know salsa today, is not all cuban, The roots are mainly a merge of cuban rythms from Son to Guaguanco, Guajira, Charanga, jazz and others rythms as well. It started in New York within the latin inmigrants in the 70'. It is written that the term Salsa was given by a Venezuelan DJ and some others musician who started the style of music.
The singer of the band is Puppy Santiago who emigrated from Cuba to PR a while ago.
But as you said "who cares" as long as they enjoy it!
