| Summary |
"One evening about a year ago I received a phone call from a young graphic designer and DJ named Pablo Yglesias, who told me he was working on a history of Latin music album covers and that I was to be a big part of the book. I was flattered, but I'd heard it all before. I thought to myself, 'Just another well-meaning fan with big ideas.' But Pablo was so enthusiastic and persistent that I agreed to meet him in person. I was quickly impressed by his knowledge and understanding of my work and that of my peers—the early pioneers of Latin music album cover design. Hell, the kid knew more about my album cover art than I did ... For the first time the commercial art created for Latin music is being documented for its visual as well as sociological contribution to our music and culture. Pablo covers a lot of ground in this book both before and after my heyday, as well as the work of Brazilian artists. Just as the great works of art reflect social, religious, and political views at different periods of history, these covers reflect fifty years of Latin cultural history through the lens of our music. The covers created in New York during the 1960s and 1970s, for example, helped define Nuyorican culture before it came to the attention of television, film, and print media. This book should not only be pleasing to the eye, but provoke questions about the nature of Latin culture and identity."--From the foreword by Izzy Sanabria |
