The Book of Salsa

By Cesar Miguel Rondon

Subjects: Nonfiction, Music, history and criticism, Music, Multi-Cultural, Musicians, Salsa (music)

Description: 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#. For this first English-language edition, Rondon has added a new chapter to bring the story of salsa up to the present.
