Recently heard the news Ashwin Mushran , got married, heartiest Congratulations dude .

Hey, came across this link that offers a book on salsa available for download!!! Not read the book, so far, but it offers a comprehensive consideration of salsa music and its social impact, in its multiple transnational contexts.

NOTE: WinRAR or any other UnRARing software needed to uncompress the file.

Link : http://rapidshare.com/files/144542029/salsa.rar

After downloading the file, unlock the extraction by using following password :

A bit of work but I am sure, the book may give a good insight on the history and adoption of this wonderful dance form.
Whosoever reads the book can share their views on this discussion board.

I got lot of criticism for writing this review on Quickstep , and now have the irritating task of proving my credentials as a patron of Salsa, who can give qualified reviews, maybe these testimonials I have received might improve my credibility rating here.

"I like what you are doing with mumbai Salsa meetup dude" -Lourd Vijay

"Manoj – you're a troublemaker man .. great to have these articles" -tippi

"Manoj, I do acknowledge ur effort and the amount of time u invest here, its truly commendable."- Avni

" u ve done a damn gr8 job on mtkg and packaging the salsa meetup its unmatchable…." Puja

"Was reading your review and the feedback you got!! Mind blowing!! you have actually awakened souls!!"- Roshni Dsouza

In my opinion, i guess Manoj has some substance in his post otherwise you wont have such a storm of extreme comments – Arun

“ manoj – dude.. this group is what it is.. becos of u man!keep up the good work..  ” Suman

“ Hi Manoj , Its a great job and effort you doing of keeping salsa alive in Bombay."-  Kris Martis

"“ Salsa in Mumbai would not have been what it is without Manoj's dedication, determination and great organisational skills. Many thanks to him for that !!!! ”-Prashant

"“ appreciate your efforts to spread salsa in bombay ”-Raoul

“ He deserves kudos for organising and maintaining this Group ! I had the pleasure to see him do Salsa last week and must say he dances very well, even with the "KNOW BASIC" tag, that he has put for himself. ”- Kamal Mustafa

PS:To read the criticism, check the comments below the review.

PS 2: Would love more testimonials, send me a email at manoj@mumbaisalsameetup.info

Recently there is an unsurpassed mushrooming of Salsa classes, this created a lot of confusion , as to which classes would suit you. And there are many bogus instructors cashing in the moolah.

How am I qualified to be a reviewer ?

I have the dubious distinction of  learning from some of these teachers Raunaque (1 month) , Kiran Shriyan (3 classes) , Ravi Akhade(1 month), Anand Majumdar (1 Class), Vijay Bandekar (2 classes) Vivek(1 month),Salsa India (1 month).Besides any consumer has all the rights in the constitution to grade/rate/ review the services availed by him.I am still on lookout to increase my repertoire of moves and instructors

A disclaimer :I am not a expert at Salsa, I am a beginner level Salsa student (though learning forever at this level for last 4 years), infact I am not an expert in any field, so treat this review lightly, I’m just another lonely guy in this maximum city looking for some fun.I am also one of the Organizers of Mumbai Salsa Meetup Group with over 800 community members.

I would be taking out a lucky draw every month among our subscribers, and one lucky subscriber will win a Beginners lessons DVD.
