The Latin sound called salsa, or, more correctly, Afro-Hispanic
music of the Antilles, is a vital force on the international
contemporary music scene. Having followed the same path as did
other popular music genres, such as jazz, from ethnic origins to
urban underground and on to worldwide acceptance, salsa has
recently also become a subject of academic study. Here Figueroa
presents materials about salsa and related musical genres that are
accessible in the non-Latin world, with an emphasis on
English-language sources. Attempting to serve the varied interests
of the musicologist and the anthropologist, the journalist and
music critic, the musician and the listener, this bibliographical
guide documents useful data in books, articles, dissertations,
encyclopedia entries, videos, recordings, liner notes, and reviews.
Included are certain Hispanic publications, self-published books,
and materials for musicians not readily classified in libraries or
entered in indexing sources. Entries here are organized by subject
and grouped within four broad sections, proceeding from sources
covering whole areas or countries, to those on specific styles,
genres, and rhythms, to those with biographical information, and to
topics related to playing, teaching, or arranging for the various
instruments. Author-title and subject indexes complete the work.
