However, there exists very little biographical literature on Lara in English. This book's informed and informative placement of Lara's work in a broader cultural context presents a reading of the life of this significant musical figure. Lara's career as a media celebrity as well as musician provides an excellent window on Mexican society in the mid-twentieth century and on popular culture in Latin America.Currents in Latin American & Iberian music.ComposersMexicoBiographyComposers780.92Wood Andrew Grant1081826PQKBBOOK9910154326003321Agustín Lara : a cultural biography2596764UNINA
