A podcast for intermediate-to-advanced Spanish students about the origins and evolution of salsa music. Many people have no idea about the African roots of salsa music. This podcast tells the story of how the music African slaves played and danced to ended up providing the indispensable rhythm around which many latin music genres developed, how it spread around the world, evolved in the USA, and spread again. All in Spanish aimed at intermediate-to-advanced Spanish learners. Part 1 of 2. Visit www.fluentinspanish.org for the Spanish transcription and English translation
