Made in NuYoRico : Fania Records, Latin Music, and Salsa’s Nuyorican Meanings
Salsa / Fania Records - Book - by Marisol Negron
(2024)
In Made in NuYoRico, Marisol Negrón tells the cultural history of salsa,
tracing the music’s Nuyorican meanings over a fifty-year period that
begins with the establishment of Fania Records in 1964 and how it
capitalized on salsa’s Nuyorican imaginary to cultivate a global
audience. Drawing on interviews with fans, legendary musicians, and
music industry figures as well as analyses of songs, albums, films, and
archival documents, Negrón shows how Nuyorican cultural and social
histories became embedded in and impacted salsa music's flows during its
foundational period in the mid-1960s and its boom in the 1970s. Salsa’s
Nuyorican aesthetics challenged mainstream notions of Americanness and
Puerto Ricanness and produced an alternative public sphere through which
New York’s poor and working-class Puerto Ricans could contest
racialization and colonial power.
By outlining salsa’s
complicated musical, cultural, commercial, racial, gendered, legal, and
political entanglements, Negrón demonstrates its centrality to Nuyorican
identity and subjectivity.
