BEGIN QUOTE  which suggests to me that Salsa is a name that came about in new york.  END QUOTE  It is. Salsa is a term used in New York in the 70's (?) by labels like Fania. It was really a re-branding exercise, to say to people that there is a new thing called "Salsa" which is completely different from that "Mambo" thing your parents used to dance to. dG
