HEART OF SALSA is a vibrant, soul-stirring documentary that traces salsa’s incredible journey—from its Afro-Caribbean roots and the barrios of New York to dance floors all over the world. Through intimate interviews, electrifying performances, and moving real-life stories, the film shows how salsa has become so much more than music or dance, for some, it’s a lifeline.
We’ve filmed with young dancers in Cali and Havana, and with seniors in Slovenia who’ve found new energy and connection through movement. We’ve spoken to legends like Fania All-Stars, Edie Torres, Albert Torres and countless everyday dancers—people who’ve made salsa not just a genre, but a global family.
We’re so close to finishing. But we need help.

Heart of Salsa is the result of years of passionate filmmaking—documenting the rich, cross-cultural journey of salsa as it pulses through cities, generations, and hearts around the world. From the pioneers who gave salsa its soul to today’s dancers who keep it alive, we’ve followed this rhythm across New York, Los Angeles, Mexico City, San Juan, Cali, Havana, Ljubljana, Rovinj, and beyond. We’ve filmed at legendary festivals like the LA Salsa Congress, Colombia Salsa Congress, and Salsa in Rovinj, and at community-driven schools in the USA, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Slovenia—places where salsa continues to inspire, connect, and transform lives. This has been a true labor of love—crafted with care, grit, and a deep respect for the music and its people.
Now, we’re in the final stretch—and we need your help to cross the finish line.
