Author of two books on Issac Albeniz, including Issac Albeniz: A Guide
to Research (1998), Walter Aaron Clark has compiled thirteen essays that
discuss the various aspects of Latin American music. The essays cover
the social and political impact the music generated as well as the
rhythmic development of the various genres. In this essential book,
significant personalities, including Carmen Miranda, are discussed. The
scope of the contributors is vast as divergent musical styles such as
the Macarena dace craze, Bob Marley's reggae music and the seductive
strains of the tango are analyzed.
