Salsa, the irresistible dance music of the Spanish-speaking world, has
made its way into the lives of millions around the globe. But salsa is
only one of many popular Latin rhythms. The first comprehensive guide to
the music, its history, and its legends, Musica! charts the vast
territory of this lively Latin heritage, which began in Cuba and spread
throughout the Caribbean and into North and South America. Illustrated
with contemporary and vintage photos, Musica! features a gallery
of legendary musical performers, plus sections on the musical styles and
dances including the rumba, mambo, cha-cha, and merengue. A discography
and bibliography complete this comprehensive story of Latin America's
extraordinary rhythmic tradition.
