The Latin explosion of Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin, and the Buena
Vista Social Club may look like it came out of nowhere, but the
incredible variety of Latin music has been transforming the United
States since the turn of the century, when Caribbean beats turned
New Orleans music into jazz. In fact, we wouldn't have any of our
popular music without it: Imagine pop sans the mambos of Perez
Prado and Tito Puente, the garage rock of Richie Valens, or even
the glitzy croon of Julio Iglesias, not to mention the psychedelia
of Santana and Los Lobos and the underground cult grooves of
newcomers like Bebel Gilberto. The Latin Beat outlines the musical
styles of each country, then traces each form as it migrates north.
Morales travels from the Latin ballad to bossa nova to Latin jazz,
chronicles the development of the samba in Brazil and salsa in New
York, explores the connection between the mambo craze of the 1950's
with the Cuban craze of today, and uncovers the hidden history of
Latinos in rock and hip hop. The Latin Beat is the only book that
explores where the music has come from and celebrates all of the
directions it is going.
