As a nation, Jamaica is the most influential music nation outside of the USA

@305DeadCounty I think what @Napoleon meant was it doesn't have drums, like what is used today in most popular music, you know a kick, snare, and hihats. At least that's what I got from his post but to me its still bass heavy just a different frequency.

There are two dominate musical traditions in the world and Jamaica is not one of them...

The US and Cuba...

People seem to be putting only English speaking countries because that's wha they are familiar with...

Cuba had a huge influence on black American music and vice versa

Really? The most popular "salsa" group in Cuba...

@Curioser You are arguing just to do it because you know damn well when he started playing with the snare, kick, and hihats it started to sound like rap and not salsa. That was the point of my post, what we recognize as salsa don't use the drums we may use in most popular music.

I think he means the modern drum kit that evolved in/out of Jazz
