Voices Of Latin Rock: The People And Events That Shaped The Sound represents the first time the rise of Latin rock has been charted in its own book, from its early days in San Francisco's neighborhoods to its modern popularity. One could almost call this a history of Carlos Santana and his band members, too: Carlos contributes the foreword, while members of his group play prominent roles throughout; though other bands are also covered from Malo to Azteca. The history of Latin rock music is as much about the rise of Latino culture in America as it is about music: packed with black and white and color photos throughout and backed by interviews, observations and analysis, Voices Of Latin Rock charts both the movement and its key players.
