Abstract Applauding the international revolution that took place in popular music--namely the rich fusion and cross-pollenization of what were once culturally isolated sounds and rhythms--this book traces and illuminates the significance of Latin and West Indian influences on the current music scene. Covering everything from the tango to the bossa nova, from salsa to reggae and soca, from boogaloo to rock steady, it surveys the backgrounds and musical idiosyncrasies of each of the different styles, with critical assessments of available recordings, and interviews and profiles of the prominent musicians. Among those included are: Bob Marley and the Wailers, Black Uhuru, Desi Arnaz, Willie Colon, The Mighty Sparrow, Cannibal and the Headhunters, Hector Lavoe, Johnny Ventura, The Wild Tchoupitoulas, Arrow of Montserrat, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Dr. John, Irakere, Machito, Santana, Celia Cruz, Jobim, Kid Creole and the Coconuts, Carmen Miranda, The Itals, Yellowman, Eek-A-Mouse, Professor Longhair, Bunny Wailer, Disco Shirley, Caetano Velosa, and Harry Belafonte.
