Salsa originally means “sauce” (salsa picante). In 1975/76 “Salsa” became the accepted name for the rock-oriented Latin American music. In a stronger sense Salsa goes back to the traditional dance music of Cuba, played by Puertoricans in the Ghettos of New York. Salsa embraces elements of rumba and mambo, Afro-Cuban jazz, Bossa Nova and Afro-American Soul or Latin Rock. This music will not let you stand still - you’ll want to dance!
