Description
In The Sound of a New America, former Sony Records head Tommy Mottola ushers readers behind the scenes of his life and his personal and professional connection to Latin music, from the mainstream success of Ritchie Valens, to his long time collaboration and friendship with Gloria Estefan and his orchestration of the Latin Explosion of the 1990s. It is the story of a culture that continues to grow and influence America in all its aspects, and an irresistible sound that will continue to move a nation in the future.
