WTH?
Salsa is heavily influenced by a variety of instruments and carribean culture. A lot of what the carribean cultures have is due to African contributions, its how people would confuse such things. Santeria is a religion. The music uses the drums which can be heard in salsa as it shows its roots, but that's as close it gets to one another.

No, salsa and Santeria are not the same. Salsa is a type of dance music that originated in Cuba and has roots in African and Latin American rhythms. Santeria, on the other hand, is a religion that developed in Cuba and combines elements of Catholicism with West African Yoruba beliefs.
