Salsa Rising: New York Latin Music of the Sixties GenerationIn the 1920s and 30s, musicians from Latin America and the Caribbean were flocking to New York, lured by the burgeoning recording studios and lucrative entertainment venues. In the late 1940s and 50s, the big band mambo dance scene at the famed Palladium Ballroom was the stuff of legend, while modern day music history was being made as the masters of Afro Cuban and jazz idiom conspired to create Cubop, the first incarnation of Latin jazz.

In the 1920s and 30s, musicians from Latin America and the Caribbean were flocking to New York, lured by the burgeoning recording studios and lucrative entertainment venues. In the late 1940s and 50s, the big-band mambo dance scene at the famed Palladium Ballroom was the stuff of legend, while modern-day music history was being made as the masters of Afro-Cuban and jazz idiom conspired to create Cubop, the first incarnation of Latin jazz. Then, in the 1960s, as the Latino population came to exceed a million strong, a new generation of New York Latinos, mostly Puerto Ricans born and raised in the city, went on to create the music that came to be called salsa, which continues to enjoy avid popularity around the world. And now, the children of the mambo and salsa generation are contributing to the making of hip hop and reviving ancestral Afro-Caribbean forms like Cuban rumba, Puerto Rican bomba, and Dominican palo.

Salsa Rising provides the first full-length historical account of Latin Music in this city guided by close critical attention to issues of tradition and experimentation, authenticity and dilution, and the often clashing roles of cultural communities and the commercial recording industry in the shaping of musical practices and tastes. It is a history not only of the music, the changing styles and practices, the innovators, venues and songs, but also of the music as part of the larger social history, ranging from immigration and urban history, to the formation of communities, to issues of colonialism, race and class as they bear on and are revealed by the trajectory of the music. Author Juan Flores brings a wide range of people in the New York Latin music field into his work, including musicians, producers, arrangers, collectors, journalists, and lay and academic scholars, enriching Salsa Rising with a unique level of engagement with and interest in Latin American communities and musicians themselves.

Terrific toy for heavy chewers
Size: 6 in, Color: Blue
My dog loves this! Chews and plays with it constantly. These will last a long time, however, eventually they begin to break down. THEN GET ANOTHER, lasted a couple months with constant chewing.

My dog doesn't like it
Size: 5 in, Color: Orange
My dog wasn't a fan of this at all. He was curious about it, probably because he could smell it, but he wasn't sure about chewing it. It could be because his teeth squeak against it? Or maybe it has an odd texture? I don't know But this has sat in the toy bin untouched since the day we got it

Great Chew Toy for Daily Play
Size: 6 in, Color: Blue, Size: 6 in, Color: Blue
My dog absolutely loves this toy. From the first moment he grabbed it, he wouldn’t stop playing with it. He chews on it, runs around with it, and even sleeps with it sometimes. What I like most is how durable it is — even with constant biting, pulling, and chewing, it hasn’t broken or shown any damage. The material feels strong but still safe for him to chew. The texture also seems to keep him entertained because it massages his gums while he plays. It’s lightweight, easy for him to carry, and the shape makes it fun for both chewing and tossing. This toy has become one of his favorites, and I’m really happy with the quality. I would definitely recommend it for dogs who love to chew.

Longest lasting toy in our toy box
Size: 6 in, Color: Blue
My German shepherd/Austrian shepherd mix destroys toys very quickly. This is his longest lasting toy that he actually uses and still has no visible signs of destruction.
