VA - Pure Salsa - The Soundtrack To The Ultimate Salsa Dance Class [3CD Box Set] (2006)

2008 three CD set, a comprehensive collection featuring 48 of Salsa's finest musical moments. Although elements of Salsa have existed for many, many years, the actual term Salsa and the music it describes didn't develop until the '60s and '70s. With bits and pieces of Tropicalia, Latin Jazz, Mambo and other styles, Salsa arose from both Cuban and Puerto Rican music. For over four decades, it has flourished and is one of the most popular musical styles in the Latin world. This triple disc collection features acts like Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Beny More, Perez Prado, Ritmo Alegria and may others.

Wherever there’s rhythm in the world, that’s where you’ll find music with Latin influences. Here’s a wonderland of music for dancing and listening, recorded over the last half-century by all the leading artists throughout the Americas and the Carribean. There’s something here for every taste, be it cool and collected or hot and hectic - Pure Salsa!
