Book Overview: Salsa and tango, the Buena Vista Social Club, Carnival, and the Day of the Dead. Latin America has produced many unique forms of dance, music, and festivals to celebrate life. But when two-thirds of Moscow is hooked on a Mexican telenovela and a Japanese salsa band is scoring hits, you can truly say Latin American culture has gone global.
