There is some controversy surrounding the origins of the name "salsa". Some claim that it was based on a cry shouted by musicians while they were playing their music. Others believe that the term was created by the record label Fania Records to better market their music, who chose the word "salsa" because of its spicy and hot connotations. Still, others believe the term came about because salsa dancing and music is a mixture of different styles, just like salsa or "sauce" in Latin American countries is a mixture of different ingredients.
