Duany's describes the roots of salsa music. He starts of describing the historical background of salsa by looking at the origins of Puerto Rican music coming from Spain and West Africa. He then says that Puerto Rican music has many different influences besides those making it a mixture of many different types of music. Duany goes on to describe the signifcance of salsa in New York City and its move there. He then describes salsa through analyzing three specific examples of this genre. He concludes by talking about how the best salsa songs express the struggles experienced by the lower class.
