Salsa Episode 4: Slick Salsa Combo 1
Author: admin
The lady at the store told me that I could do that as long as I wasn't going to a barw ith lots of spilled booze on the floor. If I was just going dancing at a nicer places I could use electrical tape, or if the floor is ok, take a paid with me and change into my salsa shoes when I get there.
Well it isn't really petty to me….they are expensive and I Don't want to ruin them. I couldn't afford the paid I bought, and if I ruin them, it will be monthes and monthes before I would even be able to think about getting another pair.
Come on guys just please answer my question…I can't ruin these…they actually mean a lot to me. My boyfriend actually bought them for me, he saved money behind my back and paid for them. I do not want to ruin them. We wont be able to afford another pair, so no they cannot be replaced. You can't replace sentimental value.
I wouldn't recommend putting electrical tape on your dance shoes. It is not good enough of a protection from all that dirt on the floor in the bars. It will peel off after 10 minutes of dancing. Plus, some of the sticky stuff from the tape will stay on your shoes after you peel the tape away.
I recommend finding a pair that is not so expensive, or find street shoes that you can wear to bars. Some dance brands carry a leather-soled shoes, not suede-soled. Look into that. Save your good shoes for good floors. Invest in a metal shoe brush – that is extra $10 out of your pocket, but this is what will prolong the life of your shoes. If you step in dirt occasionally and accidentally – this is what will save them. If you dance on the beer-stained floor regularly in your nice shoes they will be ruined for sure.
Re-soling the Latin/Ballroom shoe is not recommended – the sole ends up being too thick.

LP 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Palladium Conga (14)
Author: admin
There are few for whom LP reserves the title “master.” One is conguero Giovanni Hidalgo. His unique command of multiple congas, first heard on record in the days of the seminal Puerto Rican fusion band Batucumbele and up through his ascendancy to a solo career, marks him as a master. Thus, Giovannis Limited Edition Palladium Series Congas by LP are the result of mastery applied to instrument crafting. The drums are colored and sequenced in a manner of significance to Giovanni. The result is, at once, a heartfelt and festive nod to a time when Latin salsa and jazz were the defining force in NYC musical culture.The Giovanni Limited Edition Palladium Congas harken back to the Palladium era, when robust and dark conga sounds echoed throughout one of New York Citys most active dance halls. To look once at these drums is to understand the colorful Latin dance traditions.Each Limited Edition 11″ quinto, 11-3/4″ conga, 12-1/2″ tumbadora and 14″ supert tumba wears proudly the exterior horizontal bands in the manner of old world instruments. Each features a 32″ stature with a special profile for enhanced crisp slaps and emphatic low end. Each features specially selected natural rawhide heads, seated with an extended collar and LP Comfort Curve II rims, polished brushed nickel–as is all hardware in the series. The contrast between the brushed nickel and “rainbow” staves is unique in the industry. It evokes the electricity of frantic mambo shout choruses, ever-increasing in energy.Something dear to Giovanni indelibly marks these as drums that resonate equally in his heart and his fingertips The Limited Edition Palladium Congas feature colored stripes that carry special meaning for the master. Viewed at a distance, they are a signal that any musician playing these congas is paying homage to the great Giovanni.The limited edition drums feature premium Galaxy hardware, reinforced L…
salsa dancing coming from latin america?

Why is salsa identified with Hisapnic and Latin people? Why does it seem they are more into it than anyone else? Or am I mistaken?
Most types of "hispanic/latino" music are actually derived from african sounds the slaves brought with them when the Europeans (aka the spanish or french, depending on the country you live in latin america) brought them to Latin America. The only exception is Paso Doble and even though most people would classify that as "latino", the best description would be iberian (Spain is located in the iberian peninsula in Europe).
As far as why Latinos/Hispanics are identified with salsa (etc) is because these sounds emerged in latin american countries. Though we can thank the imported african sounds, the fusion occured in latin america. When a culture adopts and creates a new sound, the population is more than likely to identify itself with it. However, other cultures seem to start liking the "latino/hispanic" sounds, especially in the US and Europe. A true dancer is someone who feels the music… not who looks like they are "fit" for a genre of music.
