Much of the cultural music that is so well known in these parts of Central America, influenced the styles of dancing that came out later on. As Latin music became more and more popular the modern music started to develop from the 1920s onwards and Salsa also started to evolve.
It is a style of music that takes influences from Mamba, Bomba, Plena and Cha Cha to name just a few. As Salsa’s popularity grew throughout Cuba it started to then expand across the rest of Latin America and into the rest of the United States.
