Dedicated to Salsa (including Mambo, Cha-cha, Afro-Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Latin Jazz music). Essentially, the beloved rhythms that have captured the hearts and minds of music lovers around the world for almost 100 years!. There are plenty of venues out there, that are not particularly devoted to salsa, even if they say that they are. Salsa as a genre is being severely threatened. If you truly love this music, then you need to really support it. If not, it will disappear. Think about that. What would life be like if you could never enjoy salsa dancing again? That could be where we are headed unless we do something. The fear of salsa disappearing is what made me create "The Salsa Empire". Please come out and finally enjoy yourself in “Strictly Salsa” events where you can dance to your heart's content without having to put up with other formats while you are waiting for a salsa song to come back on.
Salsa Empire was co-founded by Nancy Alonso, "The First Lady of Salsa".

Hector Lavoe is widely considered to be one of the most important contributors to the success of the Salsa genre. As a talented singer, he was able to bring his influences onto the New York music scene.
