Salsa originally refers to a kind of sauce in Spanish, which is a kind of spicy ketchup that Latin Americans especially like. The use of salsa in Latin music originated from 1933. Ignacio Pinero, a Cuban composer, was inspired and wrote a song "Add a little sauce! "Because the food he eats is not so spicy and has no Cuban flavor. The song "Echale Salsita" initiated a new era of salsa dance in Latin American music and dance. The acridity of salsa sauce has been transformed into people's daily spoken language, and combined with music, it has become a catalyst for enthusiasm. After the 1960s, several well-known composers and singers, such as Cal Tjader, Rafania and Santana, released their records in the name of salsa, describing dancing as wild as salsa sauce. The lyrics sang that dancers should boil the audience with fiery enthusiasm, and Latin music was labeled as salsa from then on. Salsa's music style and dance have blossomed everywhere in the United States and spread all over the world.
