1. What is salsa?
Salsa is the commercial name given to a Caribbean dance and musical genre, derived from a traditional rhythm from Cuba called "Cuban Son".
Since the 1970s, salsa has been adopted in several hispanic regions of the Caribbean : Puerto Rico, Colombia, Venezuela, ... Not to mention New York and Miami in wich larges Latin communities reside.
For the past two decades, salsa has enjoyed a growing success all over the world and particularly in Europe where it has more and more followers, music lovers and dancers.
2. Do you only play salsa music?
As its name suggests, RICASALSA is a salsa band, also, its artists also appropriate other genres of the same musical family of Latin-Caribbean rhythms.
Thus, they excel performing Colombian cumbia, Dominican bachata, reggaeton, and also classic boleros and cha-cha-chas.
Always providing a 100% Latin show.
3. Are your artists Latin American?
Yes, we can say that; in reality they are 90% "Latinos" : Cubans, Colombians, Venezuelans, ... ; for the remaining 10% there are also Latin Americans born here, and some Europeans musicians who excel performing Latin music; in any case, they are experts in Latin music and culture.
4. Do you perform famous songs?
