It focuses on five cities that represent the
remarkable diversity of Latino popular music - New York City, Los Angeles,
Miami, San Antonio, and San Francisco - to explore the broader histories and
cultures that created the music emerging from those areas. The exhibition is on
display until October 9, 2011.
Latino musicians have had a profound influence on traditional genres of music in the United States, including jazz, R&B, rock ‘n’ roll, and hip-hop. At the same time, their experiences living in the United States triggered the creation of new musical traditions, such as mambo and salsa. “American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music,” a traveling exhibition from theSmithsonian, presents the musical contributions of U.S. Latinos from the 1940s to the present, exploring the social history and individual creativity that produced stars like Tito Puente, Ritchie Valens, Celia Cruz, Carlos Santana and Selena.
Divided into 5 sections, “American Sabor” explores the influence of Latino musicians in post-World War II America through the lens of major centers of Latino music production—New York, San Antonio, San Francisco, Miami and Los Angeles.
Based on the 5,000 square foot exhibition of the same name created by EMP in partnership with the University of Washington, “American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music” is a 2,500 square foot experience designed for smaller museums and cultural centers.
