To add to the excitement about learning with all the upcoming workshops, visiting instructors, classes, and events, I thought I’d begin a weekly post. I’ve spent time over the past years reading on the subject of Cuban music, dance, and Latin music in general and thought it would be fun to post these materials. As well, I have spent time collecting music. My intent is to post weekly like Cat with the Video of the Week. So here is my first installment. Look for more next week. Enjoy! Georgia

¡Musica!: The Rhythm of Latin America: Salsa, Rumba, Merengue, and More, By Sue Steward

While this book covers many subjects and therefore only touches on the surface, it does give a good topical overview of Latin music (with a chapter on Cuba.) It was the first book I purchased and read on the subject back several years ago (so it is a bit nostalgic in my beginnings of reading about music history.)
