 | During the Seventies I missed all this great Fania music, all I knew about was the Eagles and Pink Floyd and Disco, what a shame. The only Latin song I ever recognised as Latin was La Bamba which incidentally the Beatles virtually copied and called it Twist and Shout. It was a wonder they weren't sued for plagiarism as George Harrison was later to be over My Sweet Lord sounding like She's So Fine by The Chiffons. |  |
Doesn't it show how narrow minded UK music suppliers were and still are? I still need to access the US sites to source my Latin collection.
| Salsa was danced back in the Seventies but the clips didn't show much. I wonder how different it looked back then than today, if any different at all. | |
I could be wrong but I don't think Salsa has changed much since the 70s. Salsa is still as exciting and invigorating as it was in the 70s. The current steps, routines, variations [whatever you like to call them] that dancers apply today are more or less the same as when Salsa was created.
What do you think TT?
