Houston: Con Salsa! features the rich history of the development of Salsa in Houston that spans over 50 years! Labeled and launched in New York City, with roots in Cuban music, this genre was at first a source of identity for Latin people in New York and quickly expanded to other cities including Houston. With interviews, anecdotes and life changing experiences shared by pioneering figures that help launch, build and establish what we know today as the Houston Salsa Scene. The film explores the humble beginnings and the transformative role Salsa played in helping to diversify the Houston Latin population and the impact it continues to have in several areas in the country's "Most Diverse" city. Musicians, dancers, instructors, civic and media personalities and others, share their experiences on the effect this genre has had in their lives and in the Houston community. A feature of the film is interviews with Houston’s first salsa musical group director and with the first established salsa dance studio founder. Filmmaker Devonte Hill captures the universal language of salsa as we learn how rhythms and movement brought people from all over the world together – in Houston!Read more
