Mambo Mucho Mambo: The Dance That Crossed Color Lines
In 1940s New York City, neighborhoods were sharply segregated, and so was dancing—Italian teens swayed to jazz trumpets while Puerto Rican teens moved to maracas and congas. Then the Palladium Ballroom opened its doors to everyone, and dancers Millie Donay and Pedro Aguilar met on its floor, sparking a friendship and a dance craze that broke down barriers. This vibrant picture-book biography traces how the Palladium, the sound of Latin jazz, and the infectious Cuban mambo helped ignite the early civil rights movement, paired with lively illustrations of dancers swirling to the music of Machito and His Afro-Cubans.
