So its official? Salsa is Puerto Rican? SPOILERS***

Yes. Johnny Pachecho is indeed Dominican, not to sound stupid, but if you listen to Celia Cruz' song titled "El Guaba" she mentions that Pachecho is from the Dominican Republic.

As far as Salsa music dying, well basically Reggaeton killed it. But not to worry because Reggaeton has dug themselves a grave already with what people call nowadays "tiraera" which in English means to talk bad about each other, just like underground hip hop used to do, but Reggaeton is doing it backwards, meaning hip hop started underground and went on to rap about money, cars, women, clubbing, etc.. whereas Reggaeton used to rap about the clubbin, money thing and then went on to the "tiraera".

This movie depicts Hector as a drug addict, yes, he was, but this movie actually failed to humanize him a little and all the recognitions that Hector received throughout his career.

Reggaeton is not declining because of the "tiraera", which has always been a part of the genre from its start and was never hurt by it. Reggaeton is going through the same problems Salsa and even merengue went through. Its simply becoming too commercialized and the wanna be romantics are taking over. All these genres were at their strongest when the rhythms were lively, strong, and the songs involved a variety of topics. These days its hard to find a single salsa, merengue, or even reggaeton song that its not about the same tired theme of losing a girl and wanting her back. It just flat out gets tiring after a while.
