OUR DAILY OLDIES: BACK IN THE 70s, ROCK, SOUL AND DISCO WERE NOT THE ONLY KIND OF MUSIC POPULAR AROUND THE WORLD. THERE WERE ALSO BUGALOO AND SALSA, MUSIC WITH LATIN ROOTS AND LATIN BEAT. BANDS LIKE 'SANTANA', INCORPORATED SOME ELEMENTS OF SALSA MUSIC IN THEIR VERSION OF ROCK AND ROLL. ONE OF THE GREATEST 'SALSA' BANDS WAS 'IRAKERE'. THE SONG 'CATALINA' WAS INSPIRED BY AN OLD CUBAN SONG. SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR A CHANGE.
