The Latin explosion of Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin, and the Buena Vista Social Club may look like it came out of nowhere, but the incredible variety of Latin music has been transforming the United States since the turn of the century, when Caribbean beats turned New Orleans music into jazz. In fact, we wouldn't have any of our popular music without it: Imagine pop sans the mambos of Perez Prado and Tito Puente, the garage rock of Richie Valens, or even the glitzy croon of Julio Iglesias, not to mention the psychedelia of Santana and Los Lobos and the underground cult grooves of newcomers like Bebel Gilberto. The Latin Beat outlines the musical styles of each country, then traces each form as it migrates north. Morales travels from the Latin ballad to bossa nova to Latin jazz, chronicles the development of the samba in Brazil and salsa in New York, explores the connection between the mambo craze of the 1950's with the Cuban craze of today, and uncovers the hidden history of Latinos in rock and hip hop. The Latin Beat is the only book that explores where the music has come from and celebrates all of the directions it is going.

Just as these guitar greats have inspired one another, The Hard Rock Masters will inspire your own playing and deepen your knowledge of the music and its history.

The Eighties - the last great decade for the pop single. It was the last era in which the Top 40 was an event, something which actually seemed to matter to the young as a whole - rather than just to seven year olds and naval gazing music industry execs. The Encyclopaedia of Classic Eighties Pop is your guide through the heady world of cheesy singles and the heydays of Top of the Pops. This book is for you if you liked the sound of a club where the drinks were free, or if you thought that working as a waitress in a cocktail bar sounded a glamorous way of escaping your humdrum existence. It''s a book for you if you knew there wouldn''t be snow in Africa this Christmas, or if you sometimes stood alone at parties. Or if you went way too fast and were going to crash, or if you had the sun in your eyes and the wind in your hair and you just didn''t give a damn. Or, indeed, if you would sell your soul for a tacky song like the ones you heard on the radio. It''s a book for you if you were ever convinced that the opening line of ''La Isla Bonita'' was ''Young girl with eyes like potatoes.'' If you ever wanted hair like Robert Smith. If you smile wryly at the memory of the All About Eve single ''Martha''s Harbour'' playing on Top of the Pops while Julianne Regan sat there like a lemon, not miming. And if you recall a certain impudent question to Five Star on Saturday morning TV. And finally, it''s a book for you if you ever feel, like Mr Roddy Frame of Aztec Camera - who''ll forgive me for not quoting directly, as I don''t wish to cost my publishers several hundred pounds - that, although you can neither buy time nor sell your soul, the closest thing to heaven might be rock and roll.

Bringing together the analytical, aural, and tactile activities that comprise a tonal theory curriculum, The Complete Musician, Second Edition, relies on a diverse repertoire and innovative exercises to explicitly connect theory (writing and analysis), skills (singing, playing, and dictation), and music-making outside the theory class. It provides students with a strong foundation in the principles of writing, analyzing, hearing, singing, and playing tonal harmony and enables them to understand the most important musical forms.
