Summary:  "The story of New York salsa--an up-tempo performance of percussive Latin music and Afro-Caribbean-infused dance--is one of cultural fusion, artistry, and skilled marketing. A multi-disciplinary collective of scholars illuminate how immigrant and migrant communities in New York City--most notably from Puerto Rico--nurtured and developed salsa, growing it from a local movement playing out in the city's streets and clubs into a global phenomenon. The parameters of the work is expansive as it includes the numerous cultural influences of salsa as it is practiced in New York City and Puerto Rico. The papers interrogate the role of record companies and stores in supporting and promoting the 1970s salsa movement, the ways Puerto Rican nationalism and the Nuyorican Movement continue to influence lyrical content, the hybridization of dance styles, and pay close attention to the circular flows of people and ideas traveling between NYC and the Caribbean"-- "This book commemorates "When the People Dance: Salsa, Power, and Performance", an academic conference on salsa held at the Museum of the City of New York in September 2017. The conference was the capstone event for the exhibition Rhythm & Power: Salsa in New York. Rhythm and Power (June 13, 2017-November 26, 2017) also entailed an ongoing, interactive program series that seeks to expand the ways scholarship is produced, disseminated, and archived"-- Subject:  Salsa (Dance) -- Social aspects -- History and criticism -- Congresses.
