And It Hurt Me is a soulful Latin track filled with heartbreak and passion. The lyrics are as raw as an open wound and as honest as a late-night confession. The smooth jazz tones and world music rhythm blend beautifully, expressing deep pain with grace.

Music Genres and Their Evolution

Salsa is a Latin genre that has its roots in Afro-Caribbean musical traditions, especially Cuban music. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Cuban and Puerto Rican immigrants in New York City began fusing songs like mambo, son cubano, cha-cha-chá, and rumba. It didn't emerge in a specific year; rather, it was an evolutionary process. Over the years, salsa has evolved from hard to romantic and catchy. More recently, salsa has intersected with reggaeton in collaborations with tropical and urban artists.
