Salsa choke (often written salsa choque) is a high-energy Colombian urban dance music that fuses the rhythmic feel and call‑and‑response hooks of salsa with the dembow-driven pulse of reggaeton and elements of hip hop and dancehall. Built for parties, street dance “choques” (dance-offs), and stadium chants, it typically features looped salsa piano montunos, bright brass stabs, and crowd-style choruses over a big, syncopated reggaeton kick–snare pattern. Compared with classic salsa, its harmony is simpler and more repetitive, while the percussion and bass are heavier and electronic, giving it a distinctly modern club edge.
