It also threads eight songs into one single story, one that travels down by the river, through the jungle, to the coast and arrives into the city; and recreates a time where the vigorous beginnings of rebellious Latin music genres such as cha cha chás, charanga, merengue, guaracha and cumbia filled dance halls, hotel ballrooms and street gatherings.
