Salsa cristiana (Christian salsa) is a faith-centered branch of salsa that sets evangelical and worship-oriented lyrics to classic Afro–Caribbean salsa rhythms. It preserves the genre’s core musical DNA—clave-based grooves, piano montunos, horn-driven moñas, and call-and-response coros—while shifting the message toward testimony, salvation, and praise. Recordings and church concerts often use the same band formats as secular salsa, but lyrical themes reject double entendres and emphasize Scripture and personal conversion stories.
