Ballo Latino. Latin Ballroom. Samba, tango, zouk...fision.

An overview of three main ballroom styles of Brazil and Argentina (Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires), focusing on their musical and social similarities more than on their differences. The historical perspective emphasizes the last thirty years of evolution, as reported by the living experience of the author. The social and musical context and the historical background support the third part of the book that analyzes the technical aspects of improvising in the three styles, underlining the principles, the logic and the convergent recent evolution, towards a proposal of a dance-fusion in pair no longer limited to a particular music genre. Bilingual edition Italian-English, with illustrative video links.
