Summary: This paper is the result of participant observation of the musical and dance practice of “salsa”.Its origin is said to be in Cuba. By comparing it and historical documents, the semantic contrast of “folk” and “popular” is examined. The point is analyzed by dealing with the style of entertainments born in Cuba and developed in New York. First, the history of Cuban musical genres, for example son, danzón, mambo, cha-cha-chá etc., is investigated. Next, the popularity of a Cuban social dance style “casino” is considered. Orquesta Aragón from Cuba, one of famous traditional“charangas”, and Fania Records in New York, a company founded by Dominican musician Johnny Pacheco, are taken up as concrete cases. I pay attention to an identity called “Nuyorican”. There we can see a principle of glocalization.
