Summary: "Son is Cuba's principal dance and song form and the root of salsa. Fusing African and Spanish elements, it ranges in style from simple, rustic bands to the brassy arrangements of New York salsa. This rough guide, literally a 'who's who' in Cuban music, explores this rich tradition, from its conception in the early 1900s to the present day big-band revival"--Container verso.
