Synopsis "Los Rostros de la Salsa (in Spanish)"

Los melómanos son curiosos e impertinentes, quieren saberlo todo del género que aman y no descansan hasta encontrar lo que buscan. Las crónicas del Caribe se han hecho a través de las canciones, y eso lo sabe bien Leonardo Padura, quien le ha tomado el pulso a un género que ha sido discutido desde su propio nacimiento, a comienzos de los años 70. A través de la conversación con sus protagonistas, el autor nos regala un bellísimo retrato de las trayectorias de personajes fascinantes como Mario Bauzá, Cachao López, Papo Lucca, Juan Luis Guerra, Rubén Blades, Willie Colón, Johnny Pacheco y Juan Formell. Los melómanos son curiosos e impertinentes, quieren saberlo todo del género que aman y no descansan hasta encontrar lo que buscan. Music lovers are curious and impertinent, they want to know everything about the genre they love and they do not rest until they find what they are looking for. The chronicles of the Caribbean have been made through songs, and Leonardo Padura knows this well. He has gotten the feel of a genre that has been discussed since his own birth, in the early 70s. Through conversation with its protagonists, the author gives us a beautiful portrait of the trajectories of fascinating characters such as Mario Bauzá, Cachao López, Papo Lucca, Juan Luis Guerra, Rubén Blades, Willie Colón, Johnny Pacheco and Juan Formell. Music lovers are curious and impertinent, they want to know everything about the genre they love and they do not rest until they find what they are looking for.

Excelente libro. Padura escribe exquisitamente la historia de la música Salsa, desde sus orígenes, y nos guía muy bien con estas entrevistas a renombrados Salseros, soneros, merengue ros. De veras Padura se voló la barda. Gracias por el servicio de entrega del libro, impecable.
