It was a fantastic idea to dedicate the 2022 edition of the D\u00eda Nacional de la Zalsa in Puerto Rico to Salsa’s new generation of musicians. However, I don’t agree with Salsa radio station Z-93<\/a> in honoring just one person; Luis Vazquez.<\/p>\n The intention of honoring the up-and-coming Salsa artists is a great idea. But they could have been honored as a group, without highlighting anyone in particular.<\/p>\n As a group, the new generation of Salsa artists are the ones the will keep the genre alive. They, as a group, will need the support of radio stations like Z-93, which does a pretty good job of playing their music. These young artists need the opportunity to expose their music and then let the audience be the ultimate judge.<\/p>\n Placing that honor on one young artist misses the point. I have nothing against Luis Vazquez, who seems like a very polished artist at just 16 years old. This is not about him in particular.<\/p>\n\tSalsa’s New Generation is Not One Face<\/h3>\n
