David Garcia's recent study of the life and music of Arsenio Rodriguez offers the first critical biography of the influential Cuban musician, provides a study of the stylistic innovations of the son montuno and the meanings that the music held and continues to hold for its audiences, and links both the man and the genre to the trajectory of Latin music from prerevolutionary Cuba to the present day.
