Description
In Spanish. Editorial Cubanacan, San Juan, Puerto Rico, 1988, paperback, 371 pages.
Hace un recorrido desde los oscuros origenes del pregon callejero hasta que se convierte en genero musical y sigue desarollandose hasta nuestros dias. La Obra incluye una amplia Discografia de 458 pregones musicales y las letras de los mas populares.
Escrita en la forma sencilla – casi hablada – de la “pequeña historia”, pueden observarse las caracteristicas de cada pais cuando los pregones se amoldan a los diferentes aires regionales y como presentan similitudes entre los pueblos hermanos de Latinoamerica. “Si Te Quieres Por El Pico Divertir: Historia Del Pregon Musical Latinoamericano, is a fantastic book on the history of “the street vendor’s cry”. You MUST be able to read in Spanish! Dr. Cristobal Diaz Ayala takes us on a fantastic voyage through Latinamerica, as he covers in great details the origins, history, and the importance of “pregones” in peoples’ lives… musically, culturally and economically. The journey covers over 458 musical pregones along with their discography…from the early “street cries” through the development of a musical genre which can still be clearly heard in much of today’s popular music.
This is a rare and authoritative work on this very important subject. It is difficult to understand and appreciate today’s popular Latin music without having a grasp of the history of pregones. I congratulate Dr. Diaz for undertaking this enormous task and for writing such an important volume. BRAVO!” – Joe Hernandez, the founder and president of the ‘International Latin Music Hall of Fame‘, a non-profit organization, dedicated to honoring those artists and others who have contributed to and supported the growth of Latin music around the world
