Reader Reviews:
This book is a MUST HAVE! for any lover of Latin Music... (14/16 people found this helpful)
There is only one word to describe this book and that is BRILLIANT!
This book represents a true labour of love by the author Sue Steward (co-founder of the Mambo Inn in London). It is an entertaining read which succinctly conveys everything about this genre of music from its African and Latin-Caribbean roots right bang up to date with a perspective on the London Latin scene and towards the possible future directions of Salsa.
This book is beautifully illustrated with photos of all the major Salsa Legends from the past and present. It certainly helped me put faces to names of artists I've heard of and to learn something about who their lives.
Even just by flicking through the pages this book you can feel the infectious and spiritually uplifting tropical Latin rhythms tingling your fingers and moving your feet!
