Salsa Cubana is salsa made in, or associated with, Cuba. Although "salsa" is undoubtedly of Cuban origin, Cuba rejected the application of the word to its dance music for many years. However, with the increasingly importance of tourism to the Cuban economy and promotion of the island as the Mecca of all things salsa, resistance to the term seems to have been forgotten. Consequently, a growing number of Cuban recordings made by the likes of Adalberto Alvarez y su Son, Son 14, Félix Baloy, Cubanismo!, Candido Fabré, Osdalgia and Conjunto Rumbavana, among others, attract the description "salsa cubana". - John Child
