Synopsis

Salsa History explores the vibrant and complex story of salsa music, a globally recognized genre with surprisingly recent roots. The book traces salsa's journey from its diverse musical origins, including Cuban son and mambo, to its explosion in New York City and subsequent globalization. 

 
It highlights the fascinating cultural exchange that fueled salsa's creation, emphasizing how it's not simply a Cuban or Puerto Rican invention, but rather a hybrid genre born from the unique confluence of cultures in New York. The book uniquely emphasizes the perspectives of the musicians and dancers who shaped the genre. It adopts a narrative non-fiction style, blending historical research with engaging storytelling.

 
Beginning with the musical foundations in Cuba, the narrative shifts to New York City, highlighting the contributions of key figures and venues, before exploring salsa's spread across Latin America, Europe, and beyond. The book concludes by considering the contemporary landscape of salsa and its ongoing evolution.

    When Brian DePalma's operatically violent and profane Scarface debuted in 1983, the film drew almost as much fire as the relentless gunfire in the film itself. The movie was a remake of 1932's Scarface—revamped for a new era of drugs, sex, and graphic violence. Attacked as both a celebration of cocaine-fueled excess and a condemnation of it, the film's reputation only grew as the years went by. But the real story of its success started nearly a century ago—when Hollywood first fell in love with the American gangster . . . 
     
     
     
    Hollywood's infatuation with money, power, and organized crime has captured the public's imagination and made Scarface one of its most enduring modern myths. From a 1912 gangster film by D. W. Griffith to the 1932 hit Scarface starring Paul Muni, to Brian DePalma's 1983 shocker, the antihero's rise and fall exposes the dark side of the American Dream—whether it's Prohibition Era bootleggers or modern-day drug dealers. When actor Al Pacino got the idea of doing a remake of Scarface after screening the original, a legend was (re)born—and the rest is history. With guns blazing and chainsaws whirring, movie biz writer Nat Segaloff tears into this pop culture phenomenon with fascinating insights, stunning revelations, and a true fan's glee. This is a must-listen book for movie buffs, crime lovers, and culture vultures everywhere.
