 Review
"It's fascinating to read this alternative history of pop music, as Land of a Thousand Dances offers a wealth of anecdotes, interviews, and facts that have never been so meticulously documented. The book helps fill one of the biggest gaps in the rock timeline, ensuring that rock 'n' roll's Chicano roots will not be forgotten." - A. V. Club
"Authors [David] Reyes and [Tom] Waldman give a flavorful overview of the ever-changing East L.A. scene.... They note that barrio culture, which so richly intertwines American and Mexican traditions, has given rise to groups who move through many different types of music with ease, as well as the type of fans who can appreciate them all." - Raza Report
"[Land of a Thousand Dances] is written with insight and intelligence and I highly recommend it." - Mark Guerro, member of Mark & the Escorts, Tango, and Radio AztlanProduct Description
For this edition, the authors have written a new introduction.http://www.amazon.com/dp/0826347223/?tag=imwan-20
