What is Salsa? Via @retrosspection Cuba 1933, Ignacio Piñeiro is recording “Échale salsita” when, in the middle of the song, he yells “salsa!” to indicate the increase in rhythm and the mixing of sounds that is typical of this genre. This is salsa, a mixture of sounds, cultures, genres, not for nothing it means “sauce”. In this famous video, Izzy Sanabria explains exactly how this multitude of influences became such a complete and legendary musical genre. Izzy Sanabria 🇵🇷 is a graphic designer from Puerto Rico who moved to the Bronx in New York City during his childhood. Although he never played any instruments, he is considered very important for the popularization of salsa and is often credited with coining the term. He was also a master of ceremonies during several salsa concerts. ¿Qué es Salsa?

A few of our team members enjoyed a night out supporting Centro Hispano at the Latino Awards last week. We’re proud of the work they do. They set the bar high when it comes to enriching our Knoxville community. Proud to be a partner.

Today we recognize the cultural and historical importance of indigenous people. We couldn't be more honored to serve our local indigenous communities here in Knoxville as they share their languages with us!
