Salsa music, which originated in New York City in the 1960s, is a fusion of Cuban, Puerto Rican, and African rhythms. It quickly spread across Latin America and the world, with legendary artists like Celia Cruz and Willie Colón making salsa a global sensation and an enduring symbol of Latin culture and pride.

The event often includes a religious ceremony followed by a large party with symbolic traditions, all while emphasizing the importance of family, tradition, and cultural heritage.

Food unites Latin culture by serving as a central pillar for family, tradition, and identity. It connects people to their heritage, brings families together, and expresses cultural pride through a rich history of diverse dishes.

The terms “Hispanic” and “Latino” refer to a cultural identity rather than race. They are the two most used terms to describe Americans with Latin American and Caribbean ancestry.  The term “Latino” describes the diverse residents of the United States with cultural or ancestral ties to Latin America or the Caribbean. For many, the term "Latino" also creates room for acknowledging Black, Indigenous, Asian, and other heritages on equal terms with European ancestry. The term “Hispanic” is used to signal a connection to Spain or the Spanish language. Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates all of them!
