Book Review: But I'm a little biazed...
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a life-long dream of my father's and one that his family and friends encouraged him to finish. In the month's prior to his death, he was determined to finish it. I am so grateful for his tenacity and very proud to be his daughter.
It is a collection of his photographs of the Latino musicians from 1930 - 1980's primarily in El Barrio, NY but features several from Los Angeles, CA and other parts of the country. In it are many great photographs, from young to old with his personal commentary - you might even find someone you know also in the pictures.
The Alava Family hopes you have many hours of enjoyment.
Summary of Spanish Harlem's Musical Legacy: 1930-1980 (NY) (Images of America)
Spanish HarlemÃ?Â?s musical development thrived between the 1930s and 1980s in New York City. This area was called El Barrio by its inhabitants and Spanish Harlem by all others. It was a neighborhood where musicians from the Caribbean or their descendants organized musical groups, thereby adding to the diaspora that began in Africa and Spain. The music now called salsa had its roots in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Santo Domingo, and it continued developing onanother island: Manhattan.
