Synopsis

With a Preface by Naresh Fernandes, author of Taj Mahal Foxtrot.

The musical styles and idioms etched onto shellac disks reverberated around the globe: among them Havana’s son, Rio’s samba, New Orleans’ jazz, Buenos Aires’ tango, Seville’s flamenco, Cairo’s Tarab, Johannesburg’s Marabi, Jakarta’s Kroncong, and Honolulu’s hula.
