Summary

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.

    We can compare the whole cosmic universe with a dark room. Inside
     
    the room a few candles are flickering. With this candle-light the
     
    room is being slightly illuminated. We can call this candle-light as
     
    energy. Centring such energy each universe has developed. Several
     
    similar universes are positioned parallelly.
     
    The universe we are in does not only mean our earth or the solar
     
    system, but everything surrounding makes up our universe. Between
     
    two such adjacent universes there is a huge dark vacant space. By
     
    making an aperture through the wormhole we can cross this dark
     
    vacant space within minutes and go from one universe to another.

    Incorporating vivid hues, a palette of intriguing textures, and a scholarly understanding of exquisite objects, art, and furnishings, his work transcends period and milieu. His aesthetic spans the globe and the decades, from 18th-century English and European antiques to vintage French Modernism and the work of the finest international contemporary artisans. His projects, tailored and layered, are reminiscent of the stylish past, but always utterly up to date. With unfailing attention to scale, he is unafraid to wield a jolt of glamour or inject the unexpected, but never forgets that a room must ultimately reflect the genuine inner life of those who inhabit it.

    Considering that her film career lasted just six years, it would seem as though the reputation of Grace Kelly far outweighs her actual output. Indeed, from the time of her arrival in Hollywood in 1951 through her final film, High Society, in 1956, Kelly acted in just 11 films, leaving viewers to wonder whether Kelly was still in the beginning of her career or whether High Society was a proper culmination to an extraordinarily brief stay in the film industry? Ultimately, it is might be most accurate to state that Kelly was still in the prime of her career, but it’s unclear what direction her career would have taken, as well as who inherited the void she left. 
    Ingrid Bergman’s fame cannot be doubted, but the international quality of her career has prevented most people from gaining a complete understanding of her filmography. Moreover, the immense success of her most famous films obscured her other achievements; one of Bergman’s persistent lamentations late in her career was that even though she appeared in other films she deemed more significant, the only film of hers that people wanted to discuss was Casablanca.  
    Although Fontaine and de Havilland would make history by becoming the only sisters to both win an Academy Award for Best Actress, that anecdote was just one of the various stories about the siblings that has shed light on their notoriously contentious and complicated relationship. As Fontaine once put it, “I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia did, and if I die first, she'll undoubtedly be livid because I beat her to it!"  
    Kim Novak’s most famous role was as one of Alfred Hitchcock’s legendary “icy blondes” in Vertigo (1958), beguiling Jimmy Stewart’s character to the point of madness in what is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made. The girl who originally wanted to be an artist reached the upper echelon of Hollywood itself before she had even turned 30.
