From Latin jazz and mambo to salsa, Tejano, Chicano rock, Latin pop and reggaeton, four films of Latin Music USA explore the rise of new American music forged from powerful Latin roots. It’s a fresh take on our musical history, reaching across five decades and across musical genres to portray the rich mix of sounds created by Latinos and embraced by all.
This DVD series features the stories of an extraordinary range of musical artists and influencers: Carlos Santana, Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Pérez Prado, Pitbull, Ricky Martin, Ritchie Valens, Selena, Shakira and Tito Puente to name a few.
