Trade Review
The book is sure to become an indispensable point of reference in the cultural history of salsa. * Juan Carlos Quintero-Herencia, New West Indian Guide *
in this vividly narrated account he [Flores] narrows his focus from a wholesale history of so-called Latin music to a specific cultural moment in a single (albeit uniquely large and diverse) city ... most illuminating. * Brian Morton, Times Literary Supplement *
