Evoking the pleasures of music as well as food, the word sabor
signifies a rich essence that makes our mouths water or makes our
bodies want to move. American Sabor traces the substantial musical
contributions of Latinas and Latinos in American popular music
between World War II and the present in five vibrant centers of
Latin@ musical production: New York, Los Angeles, San Antonio, San
Francisco, and Miami. From Tito Puente's mambo dance rhythms to the
Spanglish rap of Mellow Man Ace, American Sabor focuses on musical
styles that have developed largely in the United States-including
jazz, rhythm and blues, rock, punk, hip hop, country, Tejano, and
salsa-but also shows the many ways in which Latin@ musicians and
styles connect US culture to the culture of the broader Americas.
With side-by-side Spanish and English text, authors Marisol
Berrios-Miranda, Shannon Dudley, and Michelle Habell-Pallan
challenge the white and black racial framework that structures most
narratives of popular music in the United States. They present the
regional histories of Latin@ communities-including Chicanos,
Tejanos, and Puerto Ricans-in distinctive detail, and highlight the
shared experiences of immigration/migration, racial boundary
crossing, contesting gender roles, youth innovation, and
articulating an American experience through music. In celebrating
the musical contributions of Latinos and Latinas, American Sabor
illuminates a cultural legacy that enriches us all.
