| Abstract | El Barrio, the Spanish phrase for 'the neighborhood' is recognized by Hispanics who have lived in NY City's East Harlem--the Upper East Side that runs northward from 96th to 125th Streets and Eastward from 5th Ave. to the East River Drive. 'Spanish Harlem' as it is often called, was a refuge for Puerto Ricans and Cubans. In 1942, the Palladium Ballroom opened in midtown Manhattan, and it was there that a new Cuban rhythm--the mambo--exploded. Today, popular up-tempo Latin dance music is called 'salsa' and that sound is rooted in the Palladium Ballroom, in Cuba, and especially in Spanish Harlem. This book is about the musical sounds of El Barrio and the people who made those sounds, beginning in the 1920s. |
