Traditional PR Salsa (NY) is Cuban music, I'm referring to El Gran Combo, etc, etc. More like Waltzes and Mazurcas composed in many countries.
Mexicans favor traditionally Cuban styles that have alsmost disappearead from Cuba, boleros, danzones, even cha cha chas...Mexico and NY were the Noah's Ark of Cuban music.
I heard in Saigon. quite interesting since Salsa, at that time in Vietnam, was sub-rosa--- and officially they are superfriends with Cuba. Probably nobody knew Spanish at that dancing.

Lol- Mexicans are stuck in a time warp with the type of Cuban music they like. I think it is nostalgia for a time that is now gone.
Well salsa still saturates my city in terms of Latin music. I am going to be checking out this salsa festival in the area not to far from my home called the beaches later today after I check out the Pride parade down town. Next week is tge cities salsa on st Clair street festival which in also love to go to. Next week we have at least 3 major street festivals going on in my city at the same time so there will be lots of fun events to choise from.
How is this for anti-communist? LOL, This was clearly for the Miami markets.
LOL never hard that one. Cubans are very political.

In Colombia the term tropical music was used at least since I remember(the 80's). I think it had a Cumbia element. Most songs were awful, many were covers of romantic or salsa songs. It was usually popular among the working classes.
I wonder what Andres Calamaro thinks about this cover LOL

That terms confuses me? For example on my iPhone some groups/ artist sometimes fall under Latin, Reggaeton or Tropical depending on the album even when the sounds of the album does not come across much different to the others.
Time warps are very common in some parts of Latin America. When I go to Colombia I still hear songs I haven't heard since my childhood and somehow I still remember the lyrics. The artists probably already forgot that they recorded those songs.
Salsa is still common here in Miami. It just has more competition now.
I lived in Miami in 08 and there was always salsa and vallenato on the radio, along with sh*t reggaeton.
Either way, salsa is still pretty big around latin america. Living in Chile I heard it on the radio all the time. When I was in Colombia it was always on.
Just depends where you are.
I do think salsa was a lot better in the 80s though
