Music of Latin Mexico and the Caribbean is an anthology focusing on the musical cultures of the "northern sphere" of Latin America, specifically Mexico, the Spanish-speaking Caribbean, and parts of Central America. It includes essays by such notables in the field as Robert Stevenson, Daniel Sheehy, Gerard Behaque, William Gradante, and Helena Simonett. Beginning with an exploration of mestizaje, the mixing of race and culture, the book moves on to discuss the Musical events and developments from the 16th century to the present; Ecclesiastical music composed during the colonial period; The origins of Cuban son, which served as the musical basis for salsa and Latin jazz; The folkloric musical culture of Puerto Rico; and Contemporary musical movements in Mexico as related to migration, globalization, and daily life. The selections in Music of Latin Mexico and the Caribbean provide readers with unique, important perspectives on the culture and history of a large segment of Latin America through its music. Extensively class-tested, this book is appropriate for classes on Mexican, Cuban, and Puerto Rican music. It can also be used in general education courses on music and culture. Steven
