The heart of salsa - the fast-tempo, horn-heavy music and its hip-swinging dance style - has beat loudly and strongly in New York for decades. The Bronx even earned the title of "El Condado de la Salsa," or "The Burrough of Salsa."
Now the city is home to the first museum dedicated to the music that traces its roots to Africa.
Unlike other museums around New York teeming with displays and hushed voices, the International Salsa Museum promises to be lively and flexible, with plans to eventually include a recording studio, along with dance and music programs.
The museum is also evolving, much like the music it is dedicated to. It currently hosts large pop-ups while its board seeks out a permanent home, and the museum is not expected to occupy its own building in the next five years.
