A novel practical guide for all friends of Caribbean dance, which is useful even with little or no musical knowledge. Unlike other Latin American dances, Salsa is based on a differentiated rhythm, making it challenging for many dancers and musicians to discern the basic rhythm of an instrument. Another difficulty arises from the fact that the partner dance Salsa is practiced in Germany according to two different fundamental concepts: dancing on 1 and dancing on 2. With "Salsa, Mambo...", the German book market offers a title that addresses this issue for the first time. The author introduces basic concepts such as beat, meter, and rhythm, and presents the most important percussion instruments like clave, conga, and maracas. He uses a clear tabular representation. The included material is particularly valuable.
