The highpoint of this documentary is the rare rehearsal footage of señora Celia Cruz, "the Queen of Salsa," whose elegant choreography, elliptical phrasing, and piercing vocals set the standard for all salsa singers. Along with the poignant footage from Puerto Rico and along with the folkloric beauty of the African-derived Santeria religious ceremonies, Salsa: Latin Pop Music in the Cities shows that salsa is the sonic sauce of the Americas, delivered from the Big Apple. --Eugene Holley Jr.

Customer Reviews of Beats of the Heart - Salsa: Latin Pop Music in the Cities
good-not alot of music very informative. lots about nyc in its heyday. but only 3 short cuts of music. lot of ploitical views. not really a music dvd but good
A brilliant snapshop of salsa.
What a wonderful discovery to find on a clear screen young and youthful Salsa legends Ruben Blades, Willie Colon, Charlie Palmieri, "El Rey" Tito Puentes and "La Raina de la Salsa" Celiz Cruz. Made and released in 1979, this documentary has a bit too much narration but is nonetheless a magnificent snapshot of the evolution of the music. Anyone interested in Salsa must see this film. Complete songs are rare, as is music uninterrupted by the narration, but the magic is still there. Que viva la salsa.
The Music in Context
I found this video by accident in a local store and so I had not a lot in the way of expectations. My mind was blown. This is a big juicy chunk of music and politics and sociology. If you just come for the music, there is some here. But the commentary and the religious rituals and politics are served up in equal proportion and, from my frame of reference, it's all quite, quite good. Tito is gone and Celia (God bless her) is getting up there. Their interviews along with Blades history of the Fania label make this a true collectors item as well as a great introduction to the music.
