Famous quotes and sentences with the word salsa.
1
Marc Anthony
I come from a pop background, but I'm also a Puerto Rican and I do feel this music. My approach to salsa is a humble one, and I defy anybody to prove that I'm faking it.
2
Marc Anthony
I'm not a salsa singer who wants to sing in English, and I'm not this American kid who wants to sing Spanish.
3
Afrika Bambaataa
All music is dance music. But when people think of dance music, they think of techno or just house. Anything you can dance to is dance music. I don't care if it's classical, funk, salsa, reggae, calypso; it's all dance music.
4
Afrika Bambaataa
We used to play a lot of Fela Kuti in the early days of hip-hop. In my DJ sets I'll jump off into rock, salsa, African. I like to play some crazy stuff and see the vibrations of the people.
5
Roberto Duran
De La Hoya doesn't know about salsa. He should keep on singing mariachis and leave the salsa to me. I'm good at salsa.

Ana de la Reguera
I grew up next to the ocean, on the coast, and would dance the salsa all day, so I just learned those rhythms and knew how to move my body when I was very little.
7
Bobby Flay
A molcajete is a stone mortar and pestle from Mexico. They're great for grinding spices and making salsa and guacamole because they give everything a nice coarse and rustic feel. I've never collected anything, but I think I might start collecting these because each one is decorated differently.
8
Laurieann Gibson
It's all about salsa with grain chips, tofu, turkey slices, hummus, and coconut water.

Mary Gordon
I love dancing; I adore salsa dancing and wish I could be in a Broadway chorus.

Sprague Grayden
I usually eat six times a day, small meals. For breakfast, an egg and a corn tortilla, salsa and cilantro, and some ham. For snacks, I'll have an apple, some string cheese, a yogurt. For lunch I'll have salad with protein in it and for dinner usually steamed vegetables and chicken or fish.
