Salsa Dura
The clave does not forgive a missed step.
Salsa Dura is a style from the The Party That Never Ends family. 98 BPM, Weirdness 18, Style Influence 98.
A piano that rings, brass that bites, and a sonero improvising fire. New York's hard salsa: pure street, pure pride, pure flavor.

Sample excerpt
Llegué a la esquina y ya sonaba el piano, la calle entera se movió sin permiso. No traigo plata, no traigo apellido, traigo el paso que aprendí de mi barrio.
¡Suena, que la noche está prendida! Y el que no baila, que se quede en la acera. Aquí se goza como se ha gozado siempre: con la camisa abierta y sin permiso.
Workshop note — Verbos de acción, presente, calle. La salsa dura no describe: nombra lo que está pasando ahora. El estribillo deja hueco al final de cada frase para el pregón del sonero — por eso no cierra rimando duro.
