DESCRIPTION:We all love music\, whether it’s lively or soothing to the soul
 . Alejandro L. Madrid’s new book\, Danzón (Oxford University Press\, Dec. 
 2013)\, delves into the emergence of the danzón phenomenon\, a Latin Americ
 an music\, dance\, and expressive culture. Its history spans more than 150 
 years and its influence transcends national boundaries.\n\nThe danzón first
  emerged as a distinct form of music and dance among black performers in ni
 neteenth-century Cuba\, influenced by the European contradance tradition wh
 ere couples face each other in a line and change partners. It reflects the 
 fusion of European and African elements\, later influencing Latin dance tra
 ditions as well as early jazz in New Orleans. In the early 20th century\, i
 t exploded in popularity. Madrid and coauthor Robin Moore explore the long 
 history of its controversial popularization\, development\, glorification\,
  decay\, and rebirth.\n\nAlejandro L. Madrid is a music scholar whose resea
 rch focuses on the intersection of modernity\, tradition and globalization 
 in music and expressive culture from Mexico\, the U.S.-Mexico border\, and
