"East Coast Flava!"

Below is an e-mail submitted by an outspoken salsera from the east coast and her views on salsa in Northern California. It's very interesting to read, trust me. I bet no one in Sacramento would of thought this way...

'
Bachata not "Bachatta"
Hi!
My name is "Anonymous". Pleasure meeting you. I have to tell you, I'm new here and believe you me, there are some things that you have to adjust to and others if you have in your power at all to change you will try your hardest to change. Let me explain.

Northern California does not give Bachata (merengue even) the play it very well deserves. I do not know about other parts of CA. I'm new to CA just moved from VA 7 months ago. On the east coast, Bachata is HUGE. Not because its from the Dominican Republic and there are a wonderful amount of Dominicans out there, but because its just wonderful music...
