About the Book

LA LEYENDA DE MON RIVERA Y OTROS RELATOS, es un trabajo biografico, donde se cuenta la vida de Mon Rivera, a traves de una serie de documentos fidedignos y testimonios de primera mano de sus músicos y amigos, donde a la vez se repasa la historia de la salsa, y la historia reciente de la musica latina en Nueva York en los ultimos setenta años.

Un adolescente soñador de origen mayagüezano, que en su temprana juventud dejó de lado el juego de beisbol, en el que fue considerado figura promisoria, para asumir la dirección de su propia orquesta en las sórdidas calles del Spanish Harlem ―el barrio latino neoyorquino―, llegando posteriormente a erigirse como el renovador de la bomba y la plena; las andanzas de un trombonista judío de Nueva York, su infancia en Greenwich Village, su peregrinaje a través de las universidades de medio mundo, y la valerosa apuesta creativa que le permitió llevar al pentagrama los poemas de Pablo Neruda; la enigmática vida de Hernán Rodríguez Ross, quien a finales de los años veinte llegó a ser el primer músico y cantante de origen colombo-ecuatoriano en alcanzar verdadero brillo en el firmamento farandulero de la ciudad de Nueva York; un episodio poco documentado ―pero determinante― en los albores de la carrera del compositor y director de orquesta Jairo Varela Martínez, que le permitió dar el salto del anonimato a la fama en la Cali marginal de finales de los setenta; el recuento sorprendente de una ristra de prestigiosos pianistas cubanos ―afincados dentro y fuera de la isla― que tuvieron la fortuna de acompañar durante su delirante vagabundeo al más grande cantor de la música afrocaribeña que jamás haya existido, a lo largo de su fugaz periplo artístico por los escenarios de América Latina y los Estados Unidos, quienes con su envión desmesurado terminaron por encaramarlo en los esquivos pedestales de la inmortalidad;
Esto y mucho más, encontrarán en las doce historias reunidas en La leyenda de Mon Rivera y otros relatos, el libro con el que Jairo Grijalba Ruiz ―a partir de rigurosas pesquisas de archivo y de campo― se ha propuesto replantear una serie de verdades a medias, establecidas como afirmaciones incuestionables, que tienen que ver con fenómenos como la salsa, acentuadas en el ideario de los seguidores de la música latina neoyorquina.
Por primera vez reunidas en un libro, los amables lectores hallarán en este conjunto de historias convergentes y divergentes, argumentos de peso para derrumbar mitos y develar quién fue el primero en introducir los trombones en las orquestas de salsa, así como también entender por qué Mon Rivera fue considerado por Tite Curet Alonso como un verdadero genio de nuestro tiempo.
