WOW That's a tall order for sure. Well there is the book "The Latin Tinge",any books by Dr. Fernando Ortiz but you need to be able to read spanish. Post to Pexstore.com and see if they have any books available. They area a Cuban music store and library/videos in Miami. Let me know what happens I look for somethingelse for ya, butstart there. At your Service.. JC JOHNNY CONGA......
