Salsa was originated in cuba and Cuba salsa gave rise to many new and modern forms of salsa like 'mambo', 'modern salsa', 'New York salsa', 'Miami style salsa' and 'Columbian salsa'. All of them are a harmonical blend of Rock and Roll and Cuba salsa.
Cuba salsa originated as a response to the rhythm and the beat of traditional music, especially when instruments like the bongos, double bass, cow-bells and the claves were introduced. This gave rise to a new auditory sensation called the 'cuban son'.The beat of the claves holding the music together was the defining feature of the 'cuban son'.
