Salsa: Latin Pop Music in the Cities (1988) August 19, 2007

Over the past 25 years, salsa -- the exuberant dance music of Latino communities -- has been profoundly influenced by jazz and pop even as it gave a focal point for a colorful, distinctive Latin way of walking, talking and dancing. From the barrios of New York City to the roots culture of the Caribbean, salsa captures the essence of this joyful music. This film includes performances, interviews and recording sessions with Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Reuben Blades, Charlie Palmieri and more.
