Salsa Night @ FCC
Spawned by the 1920s folkloric Son Cubano, which fuses Spanish guitar with African rhythm and translates literally as ‘Sound of Cuba’, Salsa dancing swept the globe within a decade.
And, like the sauce from which it derives its name, it remains one of the spiciest today. “Salsa is quite an intimidating dance,” says Jimmy Campbell, the Salsa Explosion host.
“It’s very sensual; very exciting. There’s a lot of energy around it.
It’s not like modern dance, where people don’t even look at each other and there’s no passion.
