Salsa is one of the most popular types of music listened to and
danced to in the United States. Until now, the single comprehensive
history of the music--and the industry that grew up around it, including
musicians, performances, styles, movements, and production--was
available only in Spanish. This lively translation provides for
English-reading and music-loving fans the chance to enjoy Cesar Miguel
Rondon's celebrated El libro de la salsa.
Rondon
tells the engaging story of salsa's roots in Puerto Rico, Cuba,
Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela, and of its emergence
and development in the 1960s as a distinct musical movement in New York.
Rondon presents salsa as a truly pan-Caribbean phenomenon, emerging in
the migrations and interactions, the celebrations and conflicts that
marked the region. Although salsa is rooted in urban culture, Rondon
explains, it is also a commercial product produced and shaped by
professional musicians, record producers, and the music industry. For
this first English-language edition, Rondon has added a new chapter to
bring the story of salsa up to the present.
