Surely that's an "American Spanish invention"?

Uh yes, I guess you are right

But if you accept that Salsa is a valid word for a specific form of dance, then -ero and -era are sensible suffices to use to describe practitioners of that dance. Just as baker is panadero (from "pan" meaning "bread"), butcher is carnicero (from "carne" meaning "meat") and chef is cocinero (from "cocina" for "kitchen").

Well, what I meant by that is that I think you will find most language theorists object to the practise of taking any old noun and turning it into an adjective by sticking an adjective type end on it.
But I was trying to be that serious about it either!
