Plot Synopsis

"Latin Music USA" is a story about American music. Fusions of Latin sounds with jazz, rock, country, rhythm and blues -- music with deeper roots and broader reach than most people realize. It's a fresh take on our musical history, reaching across time and across musical genres to embrace the exciting hybrid sounds created by Latinos; musical fusions that have deeply enriched popular music in the US for over more than five decades. The multimedia project is anchored by a four-hour documentary series that aired in October 2009, during Hispanic Heritage Month, on PBS stations nationwide
