Yes it was the Bronx, created by PR and Black youth. And "salsa" music as we know it today was created by PR and Cubans in NYC (not in the Bronx though) in the early 20th century, although salsa's basic roots started in Cuba.
Puerto Ricans dont get much recgonition and contribution creation of hip hop though. Its mostly a Jamaican Cool Herc and other African American Pioneers.
Im originally from bronx river,where Afrika Bambaataa is from and the true birthplace of hip hop. Other places trying to claim hip hop is laughable. The genre started out very humbly as nothing more than south bronx urban youth culture. Nothing more nothing less. Its a culture that cant be pidgeon-holed unto one person
Afrika bambaataa was a much bigger influence to hip hop than kool herc. He was the one that brought the culture together unifying graffiti,breakdance,fashion etc under the banner of hip hop.

Puerto Ricans do not get much recognition to the contribution of Hip Hop, becaue people are in denial, and do not want to accept it. But real Hip Hop heads will acknowledge that PRs and Blacks created Hip Hop. That is why. But the reality is Blacks and Puerto Ricans created Hip Hop in the South Bronx.
