Salsa Consciente
This volume explores the significations and developments of the
Salsa consciente movement, a Latino musico-poetic and
political discourse that exploded in the 1970s but then dwindled in
momentum into the early 1990s. This movement is largely linked to
the development of Nuyolatino popular music brought about
in part by the mass Latino migration to New York City beginning in
the 1950s and the subsequent social movements that were tied to the
shifting political landscapes. Defined by its lyrical content
alongside specific sonic markers and political and social issues
facing U.S. Latinos and Latin Americans, Salsa consciente
evokes the overarching cultural-nationalist idea of
Latinidad (Latin-ness). Through the analysis of over 120
different Salsa songs from lyrical and musical perspectives that
span a period of over sixty years, the author makes the argument
that the urban Latino identity expressed in Salsa
consciente was constructed largely from diasporic,
deterritorialized, and at times imagined cultural memory, and
furthermore proposes that the Latino/Latin American identity is in
part based on African and Indigenous experience, especially as it
relates to Spanish colonialism. A unique study on the intersection
of Salsa and Latino and Latin American identity, this volume will
be especially interesting to scholars of ethnic studies and
musicology alike.

The Book of Salsa
Salsa is one of the most popular types of music listened to and danced to in the United States. Until now, the single comprehensive history of the music--and the industry that grew up around it, including musicians, performances, styles, movements, and production--was available only in Spanish. This lively translation provides for English-reading and music-loving fans the chance to enjoy Cesar Miguel Rondon's celebratedEl libro de la salsa.Rondon tells the engaging story of salsa's roots in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela, and of its emergence and development in the 1960s as a distinct musical movement in New York. Rondon presents salsa as a truly pan-Caribbean phenomenon, emerging in the migrations and interactions, the celebrations and conflicts that marked the region. Although salsa is rooted in urban culture, Rondon explains, it is also a commercial product produced and shaped by professional musicians, record producers, and the music industry. For this first English-language edition, Rondon has added a new chapter to bring the story of salsa up to the present.

The city of musical memory : salsa, record grooves, and popular culture in Cali, Colombia
Salsa is a popular dance music developed by Puerto Ricans in New York City during the 1960s and 70s, based on Afro-Cuban forms. By the 1980s, the Colombian metropolis of Cali emerged on the global stage as an important center for salsa consumption and performance. Despite their geographic distance from the Caribbean and from Hispanic Caribbean migrants in New York City, Calenos (people from Cali) claim unity with Cubans, Puerto Ricans and New York Latinos by virtue of their having adopted salsa as their own. The City of Musical Memory explores this local adoption of salsa and its Afro-Caribbean antecedents in relation to national and regional musical styles, shedding light on salsa's spread to other Latin American cities. Cali's case disputes the prevalent academic notion that live music is more real or authentic than its recorded versions, since in this city salsa recordings were until recently much more important than musicians themselves, and continued to be influential in the live scene. This book makes valuable contributions to ongoing discussions about the place of technology in music culture and the complex negotiations of local and transnational cultural identities.
