Salsa music originated in the 1930s-1960s as Latin American immigrants in New York fused their diverse musical styles. The word "salsa" comes from the Latin American sauce used to spice up food, and was later yelled by musicians to introduce energetic acts. Salsa features percussion instruments like congas and timbales, along with piano, bass, horns, and vocals singing about love, culture, or patriotism. It has a flexible structure divided into "playing abajo" and "playing arriba" sections, and has been performed by famous artists like Fania All-Stars, Hector Lavoe, and Celia Cruz.
Salsa music emerged in the mid-20th century as a byproduct of social movements in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and New York City. It blended Afro-Caribbean rhythms with genres like son, jazz, and soul. Salsa served as a musical expression of resistance to imposed Western values and unemployment/oppression facing Latin communities. While early salsa addressed political and social issues, record executives later shifted the genre toward romance to appeal more broadly commercially. Key instruments, artists, and the Fania record label helped popularize salsa globally.
Salsa originated from the contradanza dance that was brought from France to Spain and then to Cuba, where it mixed with African and indigenous traditions to form Afro-Cuban music. In the late 19th century, independence movements in Latin American countries and the Spanish American War led to migration between islands and to the US. In the 1940s-1950s, Cuban and Caribbean music mixed with jazz in New York, Miami, and Colombia, giving rise to mambo, cha-cha-cha, and other genres. Artists in the 1970s then combined these Latin genres with other influences to create the genre known as salsa.
Latin music originated from the blending of African, Native American and European cultures in Latin America and the Caribbean. It was spread to the United States through colonialism as European powers colonized territories in the new world and transported enslaved people between continents. Latin music further integrated with American music styles like jazz in the 1940s and became an influential part of American culture as many Latin Americans immigrated to the US in the 20th century.
Latin music entered American popular music in three phases from the early 20th century. The first phase involved exotic novelty songs that incorporated Latin dance rhythms. The tango and rumba became popular dance fads. In the 1930s-1950s, Latin music hybridized with American styles to develop a commercial Latin sound led by Xavier Cugat. The mambo emerged as a fusion of Afro-Cuban son with big band. Artists like Tito Puente and Antonio Carlos Jobim incorporated Latin rhythms into mainstream American pop music. Starting in the 1950s, genres like the bossa nova, salsa, and tejano music became part of the fabric of American popular music.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
