Description:Jimmy Smits narrates this fresh look at American music history, focusing on the fusion of Latin sounds with jazz, rock, country and rhythm and blues. From the creation of salsa, which combines elements of soul and jazz, to stars of the Latin sound -- Ricky Martin, Gloria Estefan and Shakira -- in the English-speaking market, the series offers a closer look at the often-overlooked influences of Latino rhythms on American popular music.
