The Latin Music Scene
Students will find out about the biggest Latin pop stars, from Shakira to Marc Anthony, to Jennifer Lopez, and more, and the different music, clothing, and dance styles in Latin America and the U.S. Readers will discover the first artists to "cross-over" into American pop music, and how some famous American singers, such as Beyonce, have recorded their own Spanish albums.
* Reviews *
Music Scene series. Aimed at reluctant readers, these books attempt to define various music styles. The texts describe top performers, dance steps, and attitudes of each type of music. Information is superficial, and the advice provided is less than earth-shattering ("You can buy rap CDs in a store or on the Internet"). The many vivid photographs may catch music lovers' attention.
