The information on the article is adequate but the formatting is a mess (as of april 12th 2021) and it's not written in wikipedia style (more like magazine style). I'm taking a jab at this. Feel free to help. -- Xocoyote ( talk) 14:16, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
Could someone add a link to Izzy Sanabria? He was instrumental in popularizing the term "salsa." His site is here: http://www.salsamagazine.com/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.0.58.18 ( talk • contribs) 07:16, 12 February 2006
In the 2010's there was an explosion of Dominican artists that, at least in the Dominican Republic, have kept the genre alive and growing, such as: Chiquito Team Band, Revolución Salsera, David Kada, Sexappeal, and Yiyo Sarante. I don't fully grasp their success outside the DR, though. However should be highlighted that their style departs from the romantic salsa of the 1990's and 2000's with even more pop-like compositions and sometimes even removing classic features of salsa like the pregoneo altogether. I think a good example that represents this style is Yiyo Sarante's Corazón de Acero. Rondi8 ( talk) 17:37, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
I have reverted several additions [1] which gave the voice of Johnny Pacheco too much WP:WEIGHT, based on poor sourcing. SalsaSiempre, the problem with your additions is that Pacheco contradicts musicologists such as Hutchinson who writes that salsa "originated with Cuban rhythms that were brought to New York and adopted, adapted, reformulated, and made new by the Puerto Ricans living there." Salsa is not just from Cuba. The Garland encyclopedia says:
Beginning in the 1960s, Puerto Ricans and other Hispanic Caribbeans living in New York City modernised and transformed the son by paring down ensembles, combining elements of jazz, and using urban-oriented lyrics. The term salsa distinguished it commercially from its Cuban predecessor, though musicians and audiences have always acknowledged its connections with son. [...] Music that elsewhere might be called salsa is still produced in Cuba, though locals reject the term as a U.S.-derived commercial name.
Please don't try to redefine the topic as purely Cuban music. It's not. Binksternet ( talk) 15:05, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
For instance, Ray Pérez recorded the song "La salsa llegó" with both Los Calvos and Los Dementes in 1967 (and an entire album titled "La salsa llegó". Compare e.g. http://web.archive.org/web/20080518042846/http://www.descarga.com/cgi-bin/db/archives/Interview48. As it stands, the article very much seems to sell the US narrative. 2001:9E8:1480:F800:21B6:FF83:A6D7:BB20 ( talk) 18:31, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
