In salsa, the bass is known as "el bajo". One who plays the bass is a "bajero/a", and the famous lines (usually 2-measure repeats) are called "los tumbaos". In the teclados ("keyboards"), you hear the influence of barrelhouse piano and ragtime jazz music in the patterns known as "montunos" (or "mountains").
Ragtime itself is impacted by the Habanera rhythm (Ask Jelly Roll Morton, or listen to his "Black Bottom" dance recording). And, for the record, Montunos does not translate to "Mountains." A montuno on the piano is a chord in 1, 4, 5. A bass player in spanish translates to a "bajista." (Bassist). This music is older than barrelhouse piano playing and Ragtime. The rhythms were born in Cuba created by Cubans of African descent. What those early Africans brought with them to the "New World" was 'clave,' born in Africa. What is known as "Salsa" is an updated remanifestation of everything that came before in Cuba, (re)interpreted by a generation impacted by the popular influences of the era(s) they belong to.
My man, there is zero audible influence of barrelhouse piano or ragtime style piano playing in "Salsa." 'Montuno' does *not* translate to "Mountains." A 'Montuno' equals a musical "Vamp." It is a repetitive chord. On a song like Azucar, Eddie Palmieri is not laying down a Mountain with his left hand. While improvising with the right hand. He is laying down a vamp. Holding the chord with his left (playing a 'Montuno'), while going to town with his right (solo improvisation), in between the choral refrain/montumo section and the eventual 'Mambo' section to come (where the horns repeat music notes, and the Mambo bell on the timbal and the bongo bell (cowbell) interlock.
In the early 1960s, JOHNNY PACHECO was at the top of Cuban-based Latin music. Born in the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC until 11yrs old and raised in New York, PACHECO was a Juilliard-trained multi-instrumentalist who found success playing and recording with his PACHECO and Su Charanga orchestra. At the scene, he met Italian-American policeman-turned-attorney Jerry Masucci, a passionate fan of the Latin sound from New York. When Pacheco's marriage fell apart in 1962, he turned to Masucci to handle the divorce. As one union dissolved, another was born: a Latin music label called Fania Records. The two put $ 5,000 into their company and initially sold albums from their car trunks in Spanish Harlem. The label, in no time, established the musical genre that would become known as salsa, a collision of the traditional Cuban / DOMINICAN SON and pan-Latin rhythms, such as African American jazz and funk.
That’s all facts…but who kept salsa alive this whole time since the Fania days..it wasn’t DR or PR and specially Cuba.. it is COLOMBIA capital de la salsa 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴💯
@@b.a.2406 due you understand what. I was saying…she is a legend!!! But she didn’t keep salsa alive buddy!!! The country of Colombia 🇨🇴🇨🇴 kept the music alive…and still are…why do you think it’s called the capital of SALSA!!!!
The bata drums are also common in some salsa music. The history of these drums last 500 years, and it came from Africa from the Yoruba tribe to Cuba, and then the rest was "salsa history." The bata drum rhythms in salsa are various, but one common one is...... "Da, da, da da.....da da, da da....da....da (or 1, 2, 3 and (hold 4) and 1 2 and (hold 3) and (hold 4) and". Usually 2-measure patterns, like the piano salsa montunos and bass tumbaos also do. Also, don't forget the timbales, a Latin percussion drumset instrument which was commonly used first in The Mambo thanks to Tito Puente and others. It is also used in salsa, but more often in salsa's sister, the cha-cha-cha/guajira.
The bata drum is *not* a common instrument in what is identified as "Salsa." When used it is usually reserved for an intro ("Yemaya y Ochun," by Eddie Palmieri presents La India, comes to mind) which segues to the dance-oriented arrangement. But 99.8% of "Salsa" does not feature a Bata. Especially today. The standard percussion is the triumvirate of the tumbadora (what is erroneously referred to as the 'Conga' drum), the Bongo, and the timbal(es). Anything additional is light percussion, ie. Maracas, Guiros or Claves. 2 of the 3 are indigenous instruments.
BTW-The Timbal used in Afro Cuban music precede the era of "Mambo" musical production. It emerges during the pre-'Mambo' era. And certainly before Tito Puente emerged as orchestra leader. The recording catalog of Afro Cuban music in the 1st half of the 20th century is evidence to this.
Antes de que Fania Records se convirtiera en el centro del universo de la música salsera, 🇩🇴 Johnny Pacheco entregaba la música de su joven compañía desde la cajuela de su viejo Mercedes. Siendo ya un célebre intérprete que había estudiado percusión en Juilliard, él y un socio, el abogado Jerry Masucci, lanzaron Fania en 1963. A medida que la compañía discográfica creó una plataforma ampliada para su música y la de otros, el negocio comenzó a atraer a superestrellas como Celia Cruz, Héctor Lavoe, Rubén Blades y Willie Colón. Pacheco pronto se convirtió en líder de la Fania All Stars
I'm so glad he spoke the truth and knows that salsa is from AFRICA. A lot of Latinos don't want to acknowledge Africa or blackness. Everyrhing originates from black culture.
@E It's root is African, Cuban, Puerto Rican, The European influence didn't happen until introduction of brass instruments. ua-cam.com/video/xkwiYhwKx6I/v-deo.html
Its wasnt created in africa. Africa beat were similar to those used but it was created in latin country becuse that where the final product was heard africa only had the drums latin coutry added the piano, bass, brass, and mix so its only fair to say that it wasnt created in africa. Many vehicle parts are made all over the world but then its all transported to america so it was created in america so thats where everything was placed together and tested.
Salsa originated in Cuba, it was made by Cubans (of African/European descent) and is closely related to Mambo and Pachanga dances. It’s not “African”, it’s Cuban. Ik that you’re proud of black peoples’ history/culture, and you should be, but falsely claiming that something is from Africa when it isn’t is just wrong. It’s like colonizing it.
Salsa a beautiful mix of everything ❤❤❤
“And from The Swiss Alps ... The Cowbell!”
We need more cowbell! 😅

Bajero/a???? Los que tocan el bajo se les dice bajista/s. Grandísimo ignorante.

Celia Cruz, the Queen of Salsa, slipped your mind?

She’s a pioneer , but she didn’t keep Salsa alvie buddy, sorry to tell you…
@@jmbaggz215 she’s literally the most iconic figure in Salsa, and worked alongside those others like Pacheco, etc.
