In his book Los rostros de la salsa, Leonardo Padura offers profiles of great salsa musicians such as Rubén Blades, Mario Bauzá, Cachao López, Papo Lucca, Juan Luis Guerra, Willie Colón, Johnny Pacheco and Juan Formell. These interviews with those who the author calls “the principal figures in Caribbean music” create a guide for us to sail the waters of one of the great musical styles of the Caribbean. Padura talks to Daniel Samper Pizano.
