Available in English for the first time, Cuban Music from A to Z is an encyclopedic guide to one of the world’s richest and most influential musical cultures. It is the most extensive compendium of information about the singers, composers, bands, instruments, and dances of Cuba ever assembled. With more than 1,300 entries and 150 illustrations, this volume is an essential reference guide to the music of the island that brought the world the danzón, the son, the mambo, the conga, and the cha-cha-chá. The life’s work of Cuban historian and musician Helio Orovio, Cuban Music from A to Z presents the people, genres, and history of Cuban music. Arranged alphabetically and cross-referenced, the entries span from Abakuá music and dance to Eddy Zervigón, a Cuban bandleader based in New York City. They reveal an extraordinary fusion of musical elements, evident in the unique blend of African and Spanish traditions of the son musical genre and in the integration of jazz and rumba in the timba style developed by bands like Afrocuba, Chucho Valdés’s Irakeke, José Luis Cortés’s ng La Banda, and the Buena Vista Social Club. Folk and classical music, little-known composers and international superstars, drums and string instruments, symphonies and theaters—it’s all here.

Whitney Houston, the revolutionary pop icon who changed the face of the entertainment industry and paved the way to many black singers and musicians in the 1990s and early 2000s. Before Whitney, there was not any black woman singer allowed on MTV. She was one of the first black women to receive air-time on MTV. Whitney was the first woman to receive three number one hits in one album. She was certainly the first African-American woman to be on the cover of Seventeen magazine. In her entire career, Whitney Houston has won 6 Grammy Awards, 22 American Music Awards, 2 Emmy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, and 415 career awards. She was really an extraordinary talent. It was not always nice and beautiful for her, especially when it comes to personal life. What she considered "true love" in her marriage with Bobby Brown led to be her worst nightmare in 10 short years. Some speculated what caused Whitney's death was one of her addictions developed while she was with the Hip Hop artist Bobby Brown, and this would not have happened to her if she was not with Bobby. Whitney Houston herself exposed some of the intimidations she experienced from Bobby, causing more emotional turmoil and anger. Any type of abuse she had from Bobby Brown was more of an emotional one. She admitted on Oprah that she was not physically abused by him, but she was consistently abused emotionally and psychologically. This painted a different picture and shed more light on Whitney Houston's private life. If you want to learn more about Whitney Houston, this biography is FOR YOU. Let Whitney Houston rest in peace, a true talent the world has ever known. Grab your copy now!
