From the President It’s Gonna Move You Growing up on the Upper West Side in the 1970s, I fell in love with the sounds forged in New York City by Latino musicians who mixed Puerto Rican and Cuban beats with soul and jazz to create a new and defining rhythm: salsa. Now, some 35 years later as president of WGBH, I’m thrilled to introduce you to one of the most ambitious music-and-history series we’ve ever produced. Latin Music USA (see page 10) is a multimedia, bilingual celebración of Latin music and the rise of Latino culture in the United States, anchored by a four-part documentary that will make you want to get up and dance. It’s a fresh take on our musical history, spanning five decades and multiple musical genres to present an astonishing mix of sounds created by Latinos and embraced by all of us. The project is the brainchild of WGBH executive producer Elizabeth Deane and senior producer Adriana Bosch, who first conceived it over lunch in the WGBH cafeteria. “Adriana and I were talking about a big musical series I had originated for PBS, a 10-part history of rock ‘n’ roll that critics and audiences had liked,” Elizabeth recalls. “Adriana was born in Cuba and she’s passionate about music, and we wondered if something similar to Rock & Roll might be done with the amazing range of Latin music and artists in this country. “We’ve tried to live up to the expectations that Latino audiences will bring to the films,” Elizabeth continues, “and at the same time, reach out to our wider audience—giving them the pleasure of music they know, and the discovery of new artists and new music.” Broadcast in both English and Spanish, Latin Music USA is enhanced by a bilingual website (wgbh.org/latinmusicusa) with interactive features, dynamic video clips, and a player that streams the entire series in both languages, so you can watch—or rewatch—it anytime! And on Friday, October 2, we’re bringing the series home, literally, to our Brighton studios, where you’re invited to our Latin Music USA Premiere Party, with live Latin music and dancing. (See page 2 for details and ticket information.) I hope you’ll join us for the party, and then tune in this groundbreaking series, made possible by your generous support. It’s gonna move you!
