Background
Following Castro's take-over of Cuba in 1959, many Cubans left for the USA ; principally Miami and New York . Here they developed the infrastructures of their exile communities including a record company producing traditional Cuban music. By the late sixties, the young Hispanics were turning away from the roots of their parents in favour of Rock and other music. Facing financial straits, the record company needed to market its Son, Guaguanco, Charanga, Guaracha, Montuno and Guajira music to a wider audience and hit on an umbrella name that would make it instantly easier for non-Latinos to buy.
The name was SALSA.
As Salsa became more popular, the differences between the musical and dance traditions of Cuba melted away. Colombia developed its own style of Salsa with Cumbia, Vallenato and Pachanga while, in the USA and Puerto Rico , new stars emerged mixing Latino music with jazz, funk and rap.
Salsa spread rapidly throughout the USA , Europe and even beyond and is now one of he fastest growing styles of Club partner dancing in the world.
