商品簡介
Alava, a founder of Latin Beat magazine, documents the musical legacy of Spanish Harlem through six decades, noting the specific influences of artists from Cuba, Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo. Using hundreds of photographs from the era, this latest entry in the Images of America series charts the birth of salsa music from its origins in Africa and Spain, and shows how it eventually flourished in Manhattan. The text is used sparingly to support the photographic images of such legendary musicians as Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria, Ray Barretto, Willie Bobo and many others.
