New salsa coming out of Colombia. The story is essentially of a slave revolt that was sparked by a Spaniard striking down a slave woman - the chorus goes "don't lay a hand on my (black) woman" - this also this exemplifies the combination of sentimentality, melodrama, rhythm and joyfulness that characterizes a lot of the Caribbean.
As well as demonstrating that there is very little that can not be expressed through interpretive dance.
