| Abstract | "Although Salsa has garnered interest from various disciplines in the last fifteen years, the contributions of female performers has been largely ignored. This book adds to the field by tracing the participation of Cuban and Cuban-American women as either solo artists or lead vocals in the development and popularization of Salsa, highlighting their staging of gender, race and nation"-- Provided by publisher. |
