=='''Information on Salsa Music'''==
Eddie Palmicri, Willie Colon, I lector Lavoe, Cheo Feliciano, Bobby Valentin,
Richie Rey and Bobby Cruz, Joe Cuba, Nicky Marrero, Joe Santiago, among many
others, were children of Puerto Ricans from the island and New York who drew
upon their experience in both places, and "fixed the authenticity" of this experience
in their music(Salsa Music as Expressive Liberation 2004). Salsa Music is a style of music which deals more with certain instruments mixed with drums. Salsa music has a fast tempo to go along with the dance also named the “Salsa”. Salsa Music is formed using instruments like trombone and trumpet, and symbols along with a Caribbean vibe and drums like the Congo and bass. Salsa music is as artists would say music with feeling of joy and love. Salsa Music is a representation of the founders of Salsa music and the heritage that comes with the genre of music. The music was embraced with passion in poor urban neighborhoods throughout Latin America because it served as the voice and clamor of these marginalized people (Salsa Music as Expressive Liberation 2004).  


=='''The Turning Point of Salsa Music'''==
It was the music we heard on the streets of our neighborhoods, through the walls of our apartments, and in the stores and restaurants we frequented, providing a steady background for youthful love affairs, day-to-day chores, and dreams of musical success. Salsa, the neglected child, gave us work in selected areas of Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Upper Manhattan, along with occasional trips to Boston and Philadelphia and annual tours of the small towns of Puerto Rico(Salsa Criticism at the Turn of the Century 2005). At the beginning of the Salsa Era, salsa was only heard in the streets of its origin. Salsa was barely played on radios of even heard at the brink of the Salsa Era. Salsa had some controversy about its origin and who was the real originator of this new genre of music. Whatever other ambiguities exist about salsa and the politics of Cuba, Moore paints a clear picture of a Cuban Communist Party—always dominated by white men—spending decades dismissing dance music as "'low class' music (miksica baja,
sin nivel, de la hampa), crude and vulgar, as well as a cosa de negros," while supporting mostly "classical music, or pop music with overtly political content" such as Silvio Rodriguez ( Salsa Criticism at the Turn of the Century 2005).


'''Pablo Pueblo'''
Pablo Pueblo
Regresa un hombre en silencio
De su trabajo cansado
Su paso no lleva prtsa
Su sombra nunca lo alcanza
Lo espera el barrio de siempre
Con el farol en la esqulna
Con la basura alia en frente
Yel ruido de la cantina
Pablo Pueblo
llega hasta el zaguan oscuro
Y vuelve a ver las paredes
Con las viejas papeletas
Que prometian futuros
en tides politiqueras
Yen su cara se dibuja
la decepcion de la espera
Pablo Pueblo
hijo del grito y la calle
De la miseria y del hambre
Del callejon y la pena
Pablo Pueblo
Su alimento es la esperanza
Su paso no lleva prisa
Su sombra nunca lo alcanza...


'''Pablo Pueblo'''
Pablo Pueblo
Returns the man in silence,
from his job, tired
his pace is not hurried
his shadow never him catches
His forever barrio awaits him
With the street corner lantern
in front there the garbage
And the noise of the cantina
Pablo Pueblo
gets to the dark alley
And again sees the walls
With the old plasted flyers
That promised a future
In political matters
And in his face is drawn
the deception of the waiting
Pablo Pueblo
son of the scream and the street
of the misery and the hungry
of the alley and the sorrow
Pablo Pueblo
his nurishment is the hope
his pace is not hurried
his shadow never him catches...

==Conclusion==
Salsa Music was created by a group of immigrants who wanted to bring some heritage and culture to the US when they migrated from the Caribbean islands.This style of music took times to get accustom to but it only took time before Salsa began to blossom into what it is today. It got this opportunity when the first radio station played Salsa music and the rest of the world caught on. From the romantic style with the quiet symbols and soft sounding drums to the fast tempo congo drums, trumbone, and claves. Salsa has made its mark on history all through overcoming criticism.
