Salsa Vintage : Our Latin Thing..

I have come to realize that the videos that I have come to enjoy the most are the ones that provide me an emotional connection to the past of salsa. Sometimes I wonder if this is my 'second' life since somehow watching these vintage videos makes me flashback to a time I was never born.

This video shows you a little more about the history of salsa. Selling Puerto Rican food cooked by the community. No big stage for the band. The crowd is all on the streets listening and feeling the music. The performers are playing on the small steps to a church. This is part of the old essence of the culture of salsa. The People's Salsa. Not commercialized. Powerful lyrics. The singers are still human, while iconic. In a time when Latino immigrants came to New York to find a better life, there always remained a sense of 'no matter what, we still have each other'.

Salsa Vintage : Roberto Roena in Noche De Gala!

Now, I love old salsa clips and videos. Again, for those who don't know me, its mainly because I sort of re-live my childhood (and also get to see what I missed out when I wasn't into salsa). I feel that my salsa passion came later on in life even though the existence was always in my life. (kind of like a religious experience, on how you finally realize that God exists and just something changes you personally – please no hate mail). Anyways, this is from the old show called Noche De Gala which they used to air in Puerto Rico on channel 2 (now known as Telemundo own by NBC). This clip is from the 70s that guest stars the master Roberto Roena! (Sorry for the audio quality, but still enjoy it – relive the moment)!
