| Abstract: |
The article discusses two significant works related to music and cultural identity: "Talkin’ Greenwich Village" by Browne and "Made in NuYoRico" by Marisol Negrón. Browne's book focuses on the folk and folk-rock music scenes in Greenwich Village from 1957 to 1986, highlighting the influence of figures like Dave Van Ronk while noting the limited coverage of other genres such as jazz and disco. In contrast, Negrón's work offers a cultural history of salsa, tracing its Nuyorican roots through Fania Records and its role as a site of resistance for Puerto Ricans in New York. Negrón emphasizes the complexities of Nuyorican identity and the socio-political implications of salsa music, making her book a valuable resource for those studying Latinx and Puerto Rican cultural studies.
