Or just a saucer?

I did a websearch today for "history of mambo" and found this www.centralhome.com/ballroomcountry/mambo.htm which suggests to me that Salsa is a name that came about in new york.

I also started looking into the history of salsa last week - research for a workshop I was asked to take in a school.... and to be honest I ended up being more confused than ever.... I honestly believe that the history of salsa is always going to be in dispute - however I personally beleive that salsa is we know it today is largely to be credited to New York. Another interesting site you may want to look at is www.musicofpuertorico.com anch check out salsa/mambo under Music genres.....

All very interesting reading... but must admit i don't really care where it comes from as long as it continues... and there's always a dance floor full of salsa dancers having fun!!
