La Salsa De Mi Barrio - Chicago's Old School Salsa

This site is dedicated to bringing Chicago area salsa fans up to speed about an almost forgotten era in Chicago - The Salsa era. This is not to say that salsa is still not around for salsa will never disappear. Its intent is to share the experience with those that didn't know about it and to revive the experience in those that lived it. We welcome articles from anyone who would like to share their experience during this time.
