This isn’t just a dance event—it’s a living archive of liberation.

From West Africa to Cuba, from the slave plantations to the salsa clubs, the rhythm has always been a language of survival, resistance, and joy.
The streets of Toronto came alive as dancers of all levels brought the spirit of the diaspora to life—moving in freedom, dancing in remembrance.

🪘 Salsa’s African Heartbeat

Conga drums → Congo & Angola

Bata & Shekere → Yoruba traditions (Nigeria, Benin)

Clave rhythm → The pulse of resistance carried through generations

These African instruments and sacred rhythms blended with Spanish guitar and Indigenous Caribbean traditions in Cuba, creating rumba, son cubano, and eventually... salsa.
Later, Afro-Caribbean communities in New York gave salsa a new voice—bold, global, and defiant.

Today, that voice echoes in the streets of Toronto.
