Yesterday when we were learning about music in Puerto Rico we were told that Puerto Ricans actually use the salsa music as a part of their protests. Their protests are not violent and they use the music as a way to express themselves and voice their concerns. Today we actually passed a protest on our way to the schools. There were cars lined up all along the road with signs on their doors and windows. On the other side of the street were people with signs, playing this salsa music and yelling out their concerns. I believe they said the protest was about losing local jobs to big franchises.
