Salsa Fievra
I happened to visit another of these fests "Transat en ville" in Rennes this Wednesday and a group came here to teach Salsa. They presented their own piece!

Salsa means sauce in the Spanish language, and carries connotations of the spiciness in some Latin and Caribbean cuisine. More recently, salsa acquired a musical meaning in both English and Spanish. In this sense, salsa has been described as a word with "vivid associations, but no absolute definitions, a tag that encompasses a rainbow assortment of Latin rhythms and styles, taking on a different hue wherever you stand in the Spanish-speaking world". The precise scope of salsa is highly debatable. Cuban immigrants and Puerto Rican migrants in New York have used the term analogously to swing or soul, which refer to a quality of emotionally and culturally genuine music in the African American community. In this usage salsa connotes a frenzied, "spicy" and wild musical experience that draws upon or reflects elements of Latin culture, regardless of the specific style.
