In Caribbean and tropical music, "sabor" isn't just taste: it's the unique way a musician or dancer interprets a rhythm with soul, personal timing, and identity. An orchestra "tiene sabor" when their playing has personal swing, and a dancer "tiene sabor" when their steps flow naturally and flavorfully. The word shows up in salsa, merengue, bachata, and guaracha, and it's the highest compliment in any of those genres.
