Nada story, nada and laughable dialogue, and whatever salsa there may have been (in the bailes, in the musica) is wasted by a distant camera, as distant as a turista' s gaze upon our exotic raza.

Pensé que por el título encontraría una película más representativa de lo que es la salsa, pero es una versión de como ven los gringos la música latina. Es un clásico de los 80 pero creo que podría haber algo más representativo con ese nombre.
