This Thing Called Salsa (Not The Dip)

Rose: So what do you enjoy?
Me: Salsa.
Rose: Really? Who taught you?
Me: Well we always dance Salsa at my family functions.
Rose: What?!? Don't you just eat Salsa?
Me: Lol.

So there's this sensual activity that leads to serious addiction; Salsa. It's the confusion of complex Latin and Afro-Caribbean music, that is becoming more and more popular. Out of all the percussion instruments, the clave is the most distinct sound in salsa (as well as the congas).

The clave is a rhythm which is played by hitting two sticks together. Photobucket

The creation and origin is given credit to the Cubans and although Cuba and Puerto Rico have Salsa as their main dance, other Latin countries find enjoyment in this style of dancing. Salsa is becoming worldwide with Salsa Congresses in Italy, China, United States, just to name a few.

Salsa dancing is not only a style of dancing, but an exercise, a movement, an expression, my passion, and yes....a dip for chips..lol....
