Today's Salsa CD reviews

Issac Delgado – Dando la Hora :

This is probably the least known among Issac Delgado’s CDs and the one of least sophisticated production, but I like it, quite a lot. Among the many facets Issac Delgado can offer in this CD we find only the romantic one (no timba, no son, not too much jazz) but the songs are really nice, which is no surprise given the calibre of the song writing which includes some well established Cuban gurus.

The sound is occasionally a bit disappointing, mostly due to the fact that we do not have a full brass ensemble, rather a computerised one. This, together with the smooth, intimate feel of the songs, may not drive you to dance and you will very unlikely ever hear these tracks in a club. But I find all songs very nice to listen to and occasionally to practise with if I feel in a right mood. Among them there are a couple of gems, like ‘Amor de Tierra y Cuerpo’, ‘Un Centímetro de Ti’ and ‘Ella Es un Reloj’ and most important it is impossible to point out a single bad song. They are all salsa, with a remote jazzish feel, except for ‘Entrégate a Mí’ which is a bolero.

On2? Which On2? I am writing this post to all experienced salsa dancers out there, and in particular to all salsa instructors. I have a question which hopefully will spark an e-mail exchange from which I may understand a few things which are unclear to me. In order to put this into context, first a few 'facts'.

Fact 1 . Roughly speaking, most people dance salsa either On1, or On2 Modern Mambo (NY style) or On2 Classic Mambo (Puerto Rican style also similar to Cuban contratiempo). Today Modern Mambo is used more frequently than Classic Mambo at congresses and salsa classes around the world.. more...

The Salsa 10 Commandments: 1)You shall not dance out of time, 2) You shall not refuse a dance to a less advanced dancer , 3) You shall respect other dancers on the dance floor more...

Creativity, Style and Salsa: How can I be creative in my dancing? How does SuperMario come up with his incredible moves? Did Eddie Torres invent NY style? What is style? Who creates a style? What does it mean to be creative anyway?

There are no objective answers to the above questions. They all, one way or the other, depend on subjective views on the artistic expression we call salsa, on what we like, and on what we intend by salsa in the first place. But we can still say reasonable things about the matter and make the creative process clearer and possibly easier. What follows are some thoughts of mine, mostly borrowed from my maths background. I am sure all this must have been said already within the art or humanistic literature, and if you are aware of work in this area please let me know, so that I can learn more.
