Voices Of Latin Rock: The People And Events That Created This Sound by Jim McCarth (leader of the band "Santana" and winner of the 2000 Grammy Award for Record of the Year with "Supernatural") provides a history of the evolutation of Santana, Malo, Azteca and other musicians that created the unique sounds of what came to be called Latin Rock. Over 800 black-and-white photographs and a color photo section illustrate this vividly written collection of exclusive interviews, biographical profiles, and historical discussion of cultural influences expressed through music. A glossary and list of resources on the World Wide Web round out this "must-have" for anyone seeking to better understand the unique confluence of individuals and creative forces behind the Latin Rock sensation.
