The Latin Beat: The Rhythms and Roots of Latin Music from Bossa Nova to Salsa and Beyond

Also I have some friends who are espanol and some friends from Brazil. Not only are the languages very different but so is the music; anyway my two types of friends refuse to associate if i invite them to my house together so I think Mr Morales may be forgiven for not understanding Brazil. Brazil is a very special country unto itself. Also I didn't read it for political history or festival information but I learned alot about Caifanes, Mana, Soda Stereo, Cafe Tacuba, Los Tres, even Juanes and La Ley! which was most delightful and unexpected! Did you know Juanes is the son of a rancher?
