In the early 1960s, Johnny Pacheco was at the top of Cuban-based Latin music. Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New York, Pacheco was a Juilliard-trained multi-instrumentalist who found success playing and recording with his Pacheco and Su Charanga orchestra. At the scene, he met Italian-American policeman-turned-attorney Jerry Masucci, a passionate fan of the Latin sound from New York. When Pacheco's marriage fell apart in 1962, he turned to Masucci to handle the divorce. As one union dissolved, another was born: a Latin music label called Fania Records. The two put $ 5,000 into their company and initially sold albums from their car trunks in Spanish Harlem. The label, in no time, established the musical genre that would become known as salsa, a collision of the traditional Cuban / Dominican SON and pan-Latin rhythms, such as African American jazz and funk.
Bomba y plena from Puerto Rico with the Cuban Son that came from Bantu descendants and la clave are a big part of salsa. And the American influence of Jazz
Lol!! Bruh, what is your beef with Boricuas? See this is why Boricuas let ya have it the way ya deserve to hear it, and it's the reason ya hate us so much. I'm gonna give it to you straight up now and this is going to hurt. Ready? Your boy Johnny would have never gotten to where he was if it wasn't for the Nuyoricans. Say something. Salsa consists of Puerto Rico music that existed 3 to 4 centuries before ANY Cuban music kid!! Cuban music had very little contribution in Salsa. The Clave? The two sticks from Spain derived from Africa that are banged together? What about the güicharo, or güiro from Puerto Rico’s music? The musical traditions of the Spanish and Africans can also be heard in Puerto Rico's music. At least four different instruments were adapted from the six-string Spanish classical guitar: the requinto, the bordonua, the cuatro, and the triple? What is Salsa without the drum percussion from PRs Bomba music from the 16th century? What about PRs Plena music created centuries before any Cuban Son? How about you try answering these questions for us? You said Dominican Son? Lmfaooo!!!! Ya ain't got no "Son" boy stop it!! THEN came the Jazz, Rock, R&B, and Funk from the US that the Nuyoricans blended in. What now? Did I just give you a reason to hate on us some more? Lol! I can hear your hate pumping in your heart from here as you read this.
@@neldadon Why do Dumbinacans think lies are facts? I deal with that sh even with the half DRs in my family and among my DR peeps, I gotta teach ya how to use the internet too. Ya have no idea how ya sound to us cause we all know Google is right in our phones yet ya don't use it. Is it cause your blood is not used to having a phone or a computer? Ya only go by word of mouth amongst yourselves. Listen Mam, Dawn, you know damn real I'm the one that hit you with the facts. It's not hard to recognize what's real, don't remain dumbed down, try to be woke and stay woke... Try it, see how that feels for like a day. Dawn, all you got is emotional hate in you missy. You're jealous of Boricuas. Typical of Dumbinacans.

WHAT is SALSA? What is Salsa is the opening I performed on Bravisimo- Special Salsa Super Stars ABC Special (1984) filmed at The Palladium in Hollywood.
You helped in mis-naming what was the Mambo/Son & Cha-Cha music, to "salsa" & in fueling the stereotype even among the Latin listeners. Congrats. 🃏🃏 However; you did make great, classic Album Art Covers 👍🏼 👍🏼
It is a great honor and extreme blessing that you lived all these years that you helped Pioneer one of the greatest musics in all of Latin America. Me speaking as a younger person of 34. I will happily inform you that bad bunny who's currently one of popular artists not just in Latin America but the world has honored the legacy of world Latin music especially your specific generation of salsa Legends especially the fania All-Stars in spite of him being a top reggaeton artists. The younger Latinos in the industry are keeping y'all's Legacy alive and is truly a blessing that in 2023 the power of Latin music especially salsa is still very much apart the historical consciousness of our community. Viva me Gente Latina!
This explains to a letter what it means to be from the islands, specifically Puerto Rico for me , our African roots mixed with Taino and our European ancestors, culture and music like no where else, Boricua pa que tu lo sepas
People please listen to this music. It was LIVE. Nothing compares to the rhyth of LIVE Salsa bands from decades back. The sounds are the energy and soul transfered from the hands of each one of the musicians. Yes, MUSICIANS! THESE MEN WERE ARTISTS. RAW ORGANIC TALENTED MUSICIANS.
la salsa comenzó en Cuba, los bongoses timbales, lo q pasó fue que el nombre de salsa es un nombre comercial, para los años 70 finales de los 60, nosotros los boricuas empezamos, con nuestro estilo musicos como Ismael Rivera, Rafael Cortijo, El Gran Combo, Rafhy Levit, Richy Ray, Bobby Cruz, La sonora ponceña, los hermanos Parmieri Eddy, y Charlie, Los Hemanos Lebron, Tito Puente, Ray Barreto, Roberto Roena, Willie Rosario, El Gran Combo, Bobby valentin, Ismael Miranda, Pet Conde Rodríguez, Ismael Quintana, Cheo Feliciano, Celia, Cruz, el estilo nuevo era lo que la gente prefería y nosotros revolusionamos lo q hoy se llama salsa, con nuestro estilo. único, la llevamos a todo el mundo asta en la china, Alemania, África, Estados Unidos, Argentina Panamá Colombia, Venezuela, Perú México, ustedes los cubanos deberían sentirse orgullosos que nosotros los boricuas pusimos el nombre de todos los ispanos en alto por todo el Mundo,Vamos a dejarnos de bochinche y vamos a Apoyar y disfrutar de esta Musica que tanto nos gusta yo soy un salsero de la mata como decimos acá en Puerto Rico, Cuba Panamá Colombia Venezuela Santo Domingo, tierras de Grandes Estrellas De La salsa, y que viva nuestra música latina, 🇵🇷💥🇵🇷
Antes de la Salsa, Cuba ya tenía mucho éxito global: Habaneras, Bolero, Son, Mambo, Rumba, Guaracha, Chachachá, etc. No es de sorpresa que también Cuba producirá Salsa y se hiciera global. ¿Que tenia Puerto Rico antes de la música Cubana?
Me encanta la actitud del mae q sale en el 1:17. Parece un chiquito orgullosisímo de q lo felicitaron por el farol q hizo para el 15 de setiembre ❤❤❤😂😂❤❤❤❤. Todos deberíamos ser así
Izzy Sanabria,saludos desde Colombia, si bien es cierto que la percusión viene de Africa, los instrumentos de percusión como los conocemos hoy en día, y que es con los que se toca la salsa, no fueron creados en Africa. Las tribus africanas tienen miles de años viviendo en esas tierras, usando los mismos instrumentos, el mismo sonido del tambor, bailando de la misma forma que sus antepasados miles de años atrás y jamás cambiaron ese patrón suyo. A principios del siglo pasado los cubanos, inventaron las llaves de metal que hoy en día llevan todos los Timbales, las Tumbadoras y los Bongos con el propósito de poder afinarlos (clave fundamental), y así poder escribir sus partituras. Los Bongos, las Tumbadoras, y los Timbales cubanos que hoy en día todos los músicos utilizan en las orquestas para interpretar lo que llamamos SALSA, fueron creados por músicos cubanos, así que muchas de las cosas que dijiste en este concierto, no son ciertas.
Solo dijo que empezo en Africa el tambor, ustedes estan hablando del desarollo que ya es obvio y es otra cosa. Pero si tiene razon empezo en Africa, no entiendo de que mentiras hablan ustedes, como decir que Henry Ford no invento el auto. Todo tiene su desarollo y mejora por necesidad y prosperidad
Se dirige a Izzy Sanabria creyendo que le va a leer jajajajaja 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡 esta cuenta es falsa de un tipo cualquiera jajaja yo puedo ponerle a la mía Obi Wan Kenobi 😂😂
@@ArisenLord Aquí la idea no es que lea o no el señor Sanabria, lo importante es que personas como tu, y demás de este foro, conozcan la verdad. Pueda que sea un Obi Wan Kenobi, pero la realidad histórica no le dará la razón.
YES Felipe. It was the opening of a show that introduced Salsa to America. It aired in 1984 on ABC.The show was called Bravisimo Salsa Supper Stars and I own the rights. I also sell 2 DVDs of 2 shows that aired. Contact me direct at: SalsaIzzy@gmail.com
Mi hermano, yo puedo ver esta presentación mil veces más and I also love sharing it too to remind others what our Salsa roots are all about!!! God Bless Mr. Sanabria!! Saborrrr!! 👊😎💯🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 #NuestraMusica #NuestraCulturaBoriKua #NuestraCosaLatina

Thank You Just Bonnie. Just so you know, the term Salsa is still controversial with some older folks so I do expect a thumbs down from more than a few. If you google me or What is Salsa you'll come across articles with conflicting accounts of the origins of Salsa.. Thanks again. Izzy Sanabria
It came from Cubans🇨🇺and Boricuas🇵🇷who lived in Cuba🇨🇺. Boricuas🇵🇷put it on the map🗺 because Boricuas🇵🇷are Americans and it was easier for them to move around. 🇵🇷🗽🇨🇺
Una gran respuesta para la eterna, gran y controversial pregunta: Que es y de donde viene la Salsa?...Gracias Don Izzy por el aporte a nuestra musica y nuestras raices
I was gonna share this to a friend who plays lovely Clavê Keys but this is not even close to same clip on Instagram . Why is that Izzy ?? You Google peeps bein stingy with the bandwidth ?? Great clip BTW !!
@usienwkdau2jfb28u4b You are CLUELESS. "Salsa" is SAUCE that a Chef uses to cook in a Kitchen. This is Afro-Cuban Dance music and each has a name; Son, Guaguancó, Bolero, Cha-Cha-Cha & Mambo-Jazz Descargas.
@@bxjibaro73 again in the video it is demonstrated how salsa, the music, is ONLY possible with instruments from EUROPEANS, NATIVE AMERICANS, and AFRICANS….you referring to it as Afro Cuban means nothing to me as all three cultures I mentioned are represented holistically not one outshines the other
It still comes from the SON which is from Cuba 🇨🇺. You obviously KNOW NOTHING and are duped by the marketing term which the pioneer musicians were at odds with. Ever wonder why Ernesto "Tito" Puente said "Salsa" is sauce you find in a kitchen, & he plays Afro-Cuban Dance music NOT "salsa." There have even been songs MOCKING the term, like Celia Cruz & Tito Puente's "Salsa de Tomate."
Salsa did not come from Africa. From the Africans descendants of Cuba yes, but not actually from Africa. Just like Jazz did not originate in Africa but the from the African descendants in New Orleans. There was a push to say it was from Africa back before the internet by the Puerto Rican community because they knew that it was from Cuba and not Puerto Rico. Bomba and Plena are from Puerto Rico but most Salsa that came from New York was Cuban music.
There’s always one and it had to be a Cuban. Smh... As if all of Latin music is from Cuba and as if Cuban music is older than music of Puerto Rico. “As if.” Yet it all comes from Africa. Any Latinos that can’t distinguish the differences between Latin genres should be ashamed of themselves.
You think so? So you're saying there is no such thing as an Afro-Rican? Lol! Did you know Salsa consists of Puerto Rico music that existed 3 to 4 centuries before any Cuban music? Are you referring to the Clave? The two stick from Spain derived from Africa that are banged together? What about the güicharo, or güiro from Puerto Rico’s music? The musical traditions of the Spanish and Africans can also be heard in Puerto Rico's music. At least four different instruments were adapted from the six-string Spanish classical guitar: the requinto, the bordonua, the cuatro, and the triple? What is Salsa without the drum percussion from PRs Bomba music from the 16th century? What about PRs Plena music created centuries before any Cuban music? How about you try answering these questions for us?
Este video es de buena calidad pero cortado cuando lo presentan , el audio en relación a otros vídeos iguales difiere, es muy bajo. Muy aparte, Izzy Zanabria great performance✔️👍 Blessings!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jiPN7wcdeII.html
@@BXTITAN LMAO look who it is, one year later and the Puerto Ricans with no culture are still at it with the Cubans. How does it feel knowing that your entire identity, from your flag to your music, comes from Cuba?
First of all the Conga, which is what you call it, does not come from Africa, the conga which the real name is Tumbadoras, Comes from Cuba, then also the rhythms that directly make salsa, which is the son, guaracha, guaguanco, all come from Cuba, though they have Africa influences, none of them were developed in Africa, but rather Cuba.. That like trying to explain the history of the U.S auto, and not mentioning Henry Ford.
Nice try! You're still missing the point of history. You can save some time and stop fooling yourself. Whether you like it or not, there wouldn't be Salsa without black people. Where did those black people come from? When? What did they eat? What did they believe in? How did they sing or dance? Where did "skin on wood" originate from? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conga
@@SkyDANCE_PromoCode Your missing the point, I’ll try to explain it again, what you call Salas is CUBAN music derived from Africa and Europe by Cubans both black and white, where does the flute, trumpet, piano, sax and other essential instruments comes from....not Africa, and the composition of the entire piece.EUROPEAN, now I don’t know what they were eating.
Wrong, Salsa is NYRican music derived from Africa. PR music came before Cuban music kid. ALLLL percussions are from Africa, Puerto Rico’s Bomba music was mostly percussion, and that genre is much older than any Cuban genre by CENTURIES. You don’t hear Puerto Ricans saying percussions come from Puerto Rico. Cubans just named those percussions using “LP.” All other instruments you can mention were also used in Puerto Rico’s Plena which is ALSO much older than Cuban Son, and all other Cuban genres... “From Africa to Euro/Latin countries.” Salsa is a genre all on its own from NYC derived from blends of Black American music as well. Why should one nationality take credit for something that was created by NYRicans just because it holds only one of your genres in it? From our foods, to our culture, to our many ways of living, many words in our vocabulary, our upbringing, belief systems, many traditions, rules, instruments, and our music. All African. Any Latino that cannot distinguish the differences in Latin sounds should be ashamed of themselves. Especially those that think only Cubans had Black Africanos and yet dare to say it had nothing to do with Africa. Smh...
@@BXTITAN All percussions come from Africa...lol. What the hell does that mean. ALL the percussion instruments you hear Tumbadoras, bongo, clave etc, were developed in Cuba, look it up. The only thing that I agree with you is that many African cultures are centuries older than Cuba, and they never advanced more than primitive beats, through out 2000 years. Salsa is nothing more than Cuban music stolen by NY Ricans, as Canadien bass player Ry Cooder said PR Music in the late 60’s early 70;s sounded awfully similar th Cuban music from the 40’s and 50’s.
Why you guys don’t really get information from factual and reliable sources ? Salsa is SIMPLY a commercial name given to mostly ( if not all of them ) to Cuban rhythms PERIOD. Funny is that here on RU-vid there are PLENTY videos from Oscar de Leon, Papo Lucca, Tito Puentes, Ruben Blades, Machito, Celia Cruz, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Johnny Pacheco and many many many more saying exactly that. I was born and raised in Santiago de Cuba and when I arrived to USA in 1994 and heard the word “salsa” and then listen to such could not stop laughing at it 😂 .. yet many musical ( QAnon ) believers swear that is “some new creation” it actually ridiculous and absurd, Yet people listen to these clowns poor musicians wanna be and drink their cool aid 🤮 .. Please inform yourself, by the way I could be the whole freaking night putting vids here of very old Cuban music and if you’re objective enough and or knowledgeable about Cuban music/rhythms you’ll notice it right away. Plenty material here with Machito, Arsenio Rodríguez, Mario Bauza, Miguelito Valdez etc that will very clearly let you see and listen to it, is Cuban rhythms, many Cuban born instruments etc etc and peeps still talking crap .. anyhow ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R0vtyTD1kus.html
Clearly Cover Artist and MC Izzy Sanabria & ERNESTO "TITO" PUENTE who was an actual MUSICIAN & ARRANGER would have a HUGE difference of FACT regarding what is "salsa" & what is the "MAMBO"/AFRO-CUBAN music. I'll go with the MASTER MUSICIAN & ARRANGER/Composer on this question of, "what is salsa." "TITO" PUENTE said, "salsa" is sauce used by a Chef 👨🍳 in a kitchen to cook, NOT 🎶 the name of the music he plays.
