Salsa is a musical genre that emerged in New York from African and Spanish influences brought by slaves to the Caribbean. Some of its earliest forms include son cubano and mambo. The genre began developing prominently in the 1960s, encompassing rhythms like salsa romantica and descarga. Key exponents of salsa music include Tito Puente, Johnny Pacheco, Larry Harlow, Celia Cruz, and Oscar de León. The Cuban Revolution and U.S. economic blockade of Cuba impacted the musical life of the Caribbean, leading Cuban musicians to emigrate to New York and develop new multicultural musical forms, with salsa becoming a prominent genre.
