Passa The Salsa
Another Latin music style is Salsa, which you will soon see is a popular music genre unto itself. Salsa instruments include the bass, bongo, conga, cowbell, clave, cabaca, guitar, maracas, piano, timbales, trombones, trumpets, woodwinds called ocarinas and panpipes. Salsa embodies the Latin music persona, but has since expanded to include American genres like Pop, Rock, Jazz, and R&B. You may notice that when a music style--in this case Salsa--gets popular, it often sub-divides and forms other styles of Salsa: Erotica, Gorda, and Romantica. There are also fusions like Charanga-Vallenata, Mereng-House, Salsa-Merengue, Songa-Salsa, TImba, and Salsa flavored Reggeaton.

Global Efforts Synergize Through Music
"We Are The World" Shows Community Unity: The Good... On April 5th, 1985, roughly five thousand radio stations across Africa, Asia, China, Europe and North America simultaneously played “We Are the World,” a song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. This song was produced by the legendary Quincy Jones and was based on a simple notion: to unite American recording artists and help raise money for famine victims in one of Africa’s most remarkable lands, Ethiopia.
