Rhythm & Power is a new exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York that explores how salsa dancing flourished in New York City as a social movement from the early 1960s to today.
Rhythm & Power: Salsa in New York illuminates how the diversity of New York City gave rise to salsa, an up-tempo combination of percussive Latin music and poly-rhythmic, Afro-Caribbean infused dance. The exhibition brings the history of salsa in New York to life through a collection of nearly 100 objects—from Tito Puente’s musical instruments to garments worn by Celia Cruz.
Catch the exhibit at the museum during normal operating hours until November 26th, 2017. Head to the exhibit page for more information.
