Hi, my name is LL, and I’m a salsero.
I didn’t really dance much to salsa when I lived in New York, which is odd, as that’s where salsa was born from a mixing of Cuban and Puerto Rican music.
However, when I moved to L.A. and started going to parties with my various Cuban family, I learned to dance salsa right quick. If I’m ever in a down mood, all I have to do is put on some salsa and the world looks much brighter.
So, for your night owling, a little bit of la musica caliente que se llama la salsa.

You wanna punish PBO who's waiting to sign CIR and the Dems who actually passed it? Go ahead. Punch yourself in the face while you're at it.
