"The Spanish text is both conversational and informative, liberally using such words as 'giraban, ' 'vibraban, ' and 'meneaba, ' which will allow readers to feel the electricity of this music and dance move as they read." --Booklist Millie danced to jazz in her Italian neighborhood. Pedro danced to Latin songs in his Puerto Rican neighborhood. It was the 1940s in New York City, and they were forbidden to dance together . . . until first a band and then a ballroom broke the rules. Machito and His Afro-Cubans hit the scene with a brand-new sound, blending jazz trumpets and saxophones with Latin maracas and congas to create Latin jazz, music for the head, the heart, and the hips. Then the Palladium Ballroom issued a bold challenge to segregation and threw open its doors to all. Illustrated with verve and told through real-life characters who feature in an afterword, Mambo mucho mambo portrays the power of music and dance to transcend racial, religious, and ethnic boundaries.
