Description: "Transculturation provides a theoretical context for this scholarly work. Placing Mexico within the Caribbean cultural complex, the author begins his study with considerations of African-Hispanic music in the Antilles, and then discusses African-Mexican music, specifically, Mexican salsa. Salsa is examined from an historical perspective with reference to important groups and performers"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
