This is the first and only assessment of the full impact on US music of Latin American styles -- the most important influence on American popular music over the past 100 years. "Roberts treats his subject with singular affection and respect only a true fan and student can give...makes the unclear clear, tracing the history of 'Americanized Latin' music on records, the stage and in the movies as well as an informative book at the genuine Latin styles that evoked the fad fires" --Carlos de León, "Nuestro Magazine" (PS - There are lots of great pictures of the musicians in here too).
Reviews:
"Everytime you hear funk, rap, pop and rock, and even jazz on the radio you're hearing something that in one way or another has some relation to the Latin musical experience. This book tells you why, pilgrim." (Bobby Sanabria 94/95 Catalog)
