8reasonstolovesalsaFirst 8  Reasons...
                                 

I have chosen 8 Salsa Greats to start off with.  Believe me, there are so many more to choose from, like El Gran Combo, Benny Moré, Cheo Feliciano, Celia Cruz, Grupo Niche 
La Sonora Ponceņa, Oscar DeLeon, Gilbertito Santarosa, Ruben Blades, and so on. 
I certainly want to apologize if your favorite has not been listed, but I'm sure I 'll get to your favorite soon. 

I have listed some compositions that were made popular by these great artists.
Unfortunately!, I cannot let you listen to these tunes, not even for 30 seconds,
otherwise I would be in violation of industry policies and  copyright laws.

 I also hope that the venues used to promote the music of such artists,
 do not continue to diminish due to the  complexities of these laws.
 
 The  artists, composers and arrangers should have
more input to decide how and where and in what fashion their music should be promoted.

There has to be a better meaning for the word "infringement".
You cannot give with the right hand and then take away what you've
given with the left!

The complexity of it all has created an unfavorable situation for many
artists. 

We need to analyze what's happening.
