Description:
There are few parts of the globe more synonymous with music than Latin America and its infectious rhythms and dances are among the most renowned in the world. Beyond the ever-popular salsa, Brazil’s samba and bossa nova, Argentina’s tango, and Cuba’s mambo confirm that Latin America’s dances are a vibrant and integral part of everyday life in the region. This album provides a taste of some of the region’s well-known forms that have risen to such a prominence that today they have come to define their respective national cultures.
