On summer nights Marisol helps out in Papi's music store. As customers
come and go, they share memories of the Latin music and dance of their
various homelands, expressed in a dazzling array of poetry. The
diversity of Latin American music is brought to life in poems that
swivel, sway, and sizzle with the rhythms of merengue, vallenatos,
salsa, and samba.
Back matter includes a map, author's note, and further information about
the musical heritage of Latin America.
