00:00No one knows where the name and origin of salsa came from,

00:03and why it is so popular.

00:07If salsa came from Africa and the Caribbean,

00:11why is it so popular as a dance and music style from Latin America?

00:16To find out the origin of salsa, let's go back to Cuba in the last century.

00:21When the local Cubans mixed their own music with music from Africa,

00:27it became even more popular when American jazz was mixed.

00:31When the Cubans moved to America,

00:33many lived in El Barrio or Spanish Harlem in New York City.

00:38This is where modern salsa originated.

00:41In the past, different instruments depended on the place.

00:44But most used bongos, congas, maracas, guitar, piano, and violin.

00:52There were also brass and woodwind instruments

00:55such as trumpets, flutes, trombones, and saxophones.

00:59But salsa is not just music, it is also a form of dance.

01:03Salsa dancers can dance from basic to level up.

01:09My question of the day is,

01:10QOTD is Enzo Reynal Corona, 7 years old, from Paranaque.

01:17How do you get help?

01:19Enzo, this is the explanation. Listen.

01:23Let's talk about music in its most basic element, sound.

01:30Sound starts as vibrations,

01:32a reason for the creation of waves in the air.

01:35That's what we hear, and what they call sound waves.

01:39They can travel in the air, even in solids and liquids.

01:43Do you want to hear how these sound waves reach our brain?

01:48Listen.

01:49First, there's sound.

01:51A person is talking.

01:53A car is honking.

01:55A car is honking.

01:57Sound or vibration will bring air to our ears.

02:02The shape is there so that the sound can reach it.

02:06When it enters your ears, it will make your eardrum vibrate.

02:10Your brain will translate the vibrations in the eardrum into sounds.

02:15Different things can create different sound waves.

02:18But all of them are recognized by our brain as different sounds.

02:23That's why we know that the sound of a car is different from the sound of a car.

02:28The bigger the sound, the bigger the sound wave.

02:31And it's more charged with energy.

02:33When the energy of a sound is stronger,

02:36it hits the eardrum stronger.

02:38That's why the brain knows that the sound is stronger.

02:42But if the sound is weak, the force on the eardrum is weak.

02:45That's why the brain knows that the sound is weak.

02:48Our brain is amazed by the amazing things it can do.

02:52I believe!
