Daddy Yankee’s constant focus and rapid development have allowed him to
not just lyrics but they are backed up by their actions. In other words, the media saw how passionate and authentic Calle 13 was about their people and music.

Christopher Moreno Mrs. Saud Dance Class 3 May 2014 Latin Dancing Latin dances hail from several different countries in South and Central America, and most have influences that range far beyond this region.

The movie ‘From Mambo to Hip-Hop’ is a great documentary about a revolution in the entertainment industry. It talks of evolution on Salsa music and Hip-Hop culture in suburbs of New York. South Bronx is a ghetto neighbourhood. The people living in the area are challenged economically. There is a record of high cases of violence that exist in the streets due to high crime rate and drugs being traded as a means of survival (Gordon, 2005).
