There is always a debate where I come from,when it comes to salsa
music.Puerto Ricans say that salsa started in Puerto Rico,and Cubans say that salsa started in Cuba.There is a very old saying
that Cubans and Puerto Ricans are like the two feathers from the
same eagle,which means that we are the same people, but different
culture differences as far as music and other customs.I love salsa music,but I am confused because two different people,Puerto Ricans,and Cubans are giving two different stories of the musics
origin.Can someone bring out the truth for once.I am Puerto Rican
myself by the way.

Yeah Salsa music was actually started back in the '60s and '70s in New York City by Puerto Rican AND Cuban immigrants. Many Latin musicians in New York City were Puerto Rican, and it was these performers who innovated the style now known as salsa music, based largely off Cuban(Mambo and Chachacha) and Puerto Rican(Bomba) music. Also it is influenced by African American Jazz.

Puerto Rico's ok Cuba lots of crime, unless u know it? My friend goes down there alot for Conventions and knows all the Right parts to go to. If you chose Cuba, I'd pick a 5 Star and stay there in that area only!
Just Please don't go to Mexico! I did a few years back, before all killings started! I was in Peurto Vallarta (xnay spelling) a 5 Star Hotel which I loved walkin downtown with the old cobble stone.
Now I'm scared as hell to go back, my Fav. Vacation Place vs.
Jamaica. Stay Safe My Friend!
